This Series II 88 boasts a distinct presence on and off the road thanks to its bright yellow finish. If we were going to build a Series II this restoration is about as perfect as you can ask for.

The inclusion of a bulkhead tool holder, a Farm Jack, and a convenient 12V outlet ensures that practical demands are met.
