Thanks all! Really enjoying my new Landy, reminds me a lot of my old Moggy Van, both very much 'nut and bolt' vehicles.

--- Quote from: "Bob Ajob" ---Ours also has a Series III grill fitted.

I was wondering if they just threw whatever they had left together towards the end of Series IIa production...

A lot of the late Series 2A vehicles had Series 3 grills fitted in an attempt to "modernise" them and have them carry the resale value of a Series 3, as the Series 3 was all "Wow!  New Model!" back then when it was not much diffferent from the 2A model.

Don't rule out that a PO may have fitted the S3 bulkhead, and there is also the possibility that you have a S3 posing as a S2A if they swapped the chassis number around.  :wink:

Spacemud:
Yes, I'm expecting that a bit of mixing and matching has gone on in the past, but whilst I like originality, this is going to be my daily commuting transport, so it isn't overly important. What I am looking forward to is turning up in the office car park with my scruffy old Land Rover and parking it next to all those supposed status symbols that will be changed within a year or so  :wink:  :wink:

I would actually like to put an old 'corrugated' grille on mine, so something else to add to the 'soup'................anyone got one spare?

tomarse:
Looks like you found a good'un. :)

Its definately got a 2A bulkhead.

There are a few other differenced between the 2A's and 3 - The clutch slaves were in different places and thus the bell housings differed and the chassis slightly. How is the clutch slave mounted on your truck? (unless it has been changed or they changed over for late 2A's). I know i had to get the grinder out to make a series 3 gearbox fit in my 2A chassis!.

Devon-Rover:
It has all the signs that it is a IIA. and it even looks like the IIA front panel too. even though i'm not sure.

The Vin number should be where ben says it is. The dash looks like a petrol one so the VIN would go along the lines of 241.........X Where x is the suffix letter.
