You can put an auto in a Series landrover but its tough with the 2.25 engine. The few that are done tend to be Rover v8's with auto boxes.

Have a look/ask on the series2forum, there were a few auto conversions, nearly all were done due to disabilities.

That would be my preferred method, followed by a v8 and the matching auto from an old range rover. Neither of which keep originality, but both are doable with a bit of engineering to keep the vehicle usable.

Using a donor also means you've got all the required parts at hand and you can see the engine and box running

+1 to that, you can pull off all the harness and any ECU boxes all connected and carry over as is.

Don’t want an Ecu. That is far to modern. Go for a good old fashioned set up from an early disco or range.
