Vehicle & Technical > Series Land Rovers
Think I have had a bit of luck for once!

Well from the plate near the steering wheel it's a 241xxxxxH, which I understand from the series 2 owners site, confirms that it is definitely a petrol 2a, with the 'H' standing for '5 or more modifications'. This, I guess, would tie in with it having the wing mounted headlights, etc.
By the way, I adjusted the steering box last night to take the play out of it, plus checked the tyre pressures. One was pumped up to over 60lb's! They are now all down to 25lb. Those two pieces of maintenance, which took about 20 minute all together have made a massive difference to the steering. :)

Yep 241.........H so it's a basic petrol SWB home market RHD. and built in 1971 and was part of the last batch of series IIA's.
I have a 241.........G and that was built in jan 1971.
The wing mounted headlights were brought in 1968. to comply with overseas lighting regulations, and being a major factor of the land rover export market, so they put the lights in the wings, UK ledgislation was to follow.
Being a H suffix means that it is very late IIA and you might be the lucky enough to have the all syncro gearbox (commonly called the Series 3 box) as they were fitted then prior to the Series 3 being introduced later on that year.

On the export bit, you got some of the odd ones with "bug eye" style lights like the one below. I assume that was just a temp measure until they designed something better
