Vehicle & Technical > Series Land Rovers
Think I have had a bit of luck for once!
Spacemud:
Last night I came across an ad in ASDA for a Land Rover for sale for £350, so just had to take a look just in case it was worth buying. Well, it's not got an MOT but looks to have had lots of work done in the past (chassis welding, etc), panels look pretty straight, interior is tidy (for a Land Rover), it starts and drives and It's TAX EXEMPT!!! HPi'd it and that checks out. Needless to say, I'm in quite a happy mood today :D
It's a 1971 car with the headlights on the wings, but dials in the centre of the car as with the series two's. Would that mean it is likely a series 2a, or could it be a series 3?
Devon-Rover:
It sounds like a late series IIA. the chassis number would tell what it is. the first 3 numbers would be good, if you don't want to tell the whole world.
Maybe a piccy would help too. :)
Rich_P:
Does the dash/bulkhead look like this? If it does, then it's probably a late 2A. Mine has lights in the wings as well, as the lights were moved from the grill to the wings in 1967 to comply with up coming UK legislation and also to comply with export requirements.
Bob Ajob:
What's the chassis suffix?
Ours is a 1971 Series IIa (registered August), H suffix, though we've got a Series III dash, and series III bulkhead, unless it's just the door hinges.
Not sure what gearbox we've got, as got a different engine anyway, so gearbox may not be original, it does have synchro on 3rd & 4th only though.
Do you have the Series IIa 'proud' door hinges, look like gate hinges, or you have the Series III plate style?
Spacemud:
Yes, has the proud hindges, and a series two dash. Where is the chassis number positioned?
Didn't get much time on it at the weekend but have a couple of rad pipes to go on tonight, and I did charge the battery and up the tickover at the weekend. Also gave it a quick hoover out.
I took some photo's at the weekend so will try to get them on my profile later.
