Vehicle & Technical > Series Land Rovers

What info can you tell me about this vehicle fron the photos

<< < (4/6) > >>

Canada Al:
Tha back of the chassis looks military ( parellel ends to the cross member ) but I see it has no removeable cross member for the gearbox . That makes it possible an exmil. SII chassis in my book .

Miniman:
Cheers for that info I am also in convers with another forum and have put that to them. I will keep you infomed....

I didn't notice the deep sills.  The rear number plate light is nothing special, because the Series 2/2A also used a seperate light for the number plate or the light mounted in the rear sidelights (like mine has).

It also isn't possible to change the dash on a Series 2/2A bulkhead to a Series 3 one without a massive amount of work.  The two bulkheads are completely differant.  Furthermore if it was a 2/2A bulkhead, the windscreen mounts would be differant to what they are on the vehicle. :wink:

I suppose you may very well just be seeing a vehicle that has been put together using the best parts of two or more vehicles.  Because chassis wise, there isn't much differance between a late 2A and a Series 3 chassis, so most Series 3 things can bolt quite happily to a 2A chassis.

Bulkhead
Dash
Doors
Wings
Are all S3

Also it looks to me like the Chassis has the centre seam, wasn't that one of the changes that came in with the S3? ie the main rails are 2 C sections welded together rather than 4 pieces to make a box (both my S2 & S2a, chassis are flat top and bottom).

About the only thing that suggests S2a to me is the Rover rear axle, but I don't really do modern LRs so couldn't say if that is wrong for a S3 109".

defenderdan:
The handbrake lever looks to be a s3 one. s2's had a short stubby lever, i don't know about 2a's though.  The centre seam that mathew mentions only appears  in the last couple of years of production of 109's (early eighties).
