Good deal there by the looks for £1,500.  That also appears to be a Series 3, with the bulkhead windscreen mounts and plastic grill.

Yes, sorry as I was not thinking.  But it does have a Series 3 bulkhead...

EDIT:  In fact, one of that age should have lights in the grill and not have a Series 3 front end.

How's that supposed to work?  :shock: The Series 2 dashboard is part of the bulkhead, which is entirely metal and nothing like the Series 3 dash...  :?:

The last owner said something like it is a series 3 but its registered under a 1966 "d" plate which makes it tax exempt or something like that. On the wayhome we seemed to be going quite fast its made grinding noises is ok nowbut just idles a bit low ...?!? any clues

Be warned.  Depending on the circumstances you could have an illegal motor there.  I'd advise seeing what it is made up of, as well as compare the VIN against the chassis number.

Hi,

I'm the joint owner of the bits n bobs Land Rover with Andy, we bought it on Saturday.  The previous owner was saying it was orginally a 2a and was rebuilt on a series 3 galv chassis.  The log book of for a 1966 Landy, hope the chassis change still makes it tax exempt.  Will check out the VIN as suggested, not that I know where I'm looking :)
