grunty:
i have been offered a 2a safari lwb for £200. its a petrol which runs and drives but..

chassis and bulkhead are shot, been used as a hay store in a field for several years.
Body is straight and all seems complete but is it worth doing?

Chassis on fleebay is about 100-300 similair for a bulkhead.
Can i put it on a coiled chassis? whats the chances of keeping the tax exempt status?

No chance of keeping tax exemption by going with a coil sprung chassis.  Why would you want to turn a 2A into a wannabe coiler anyway?  Just buy a 110 if that's what you want.

I can tell you it is worth saving though.  They're getting quite rare, let alone in 2A tax exempt form.

Pete:
If you buy a new leaf sprung chassis, take it to a ministry testing station, and get the number from the existing chassis transfered, you can then convert the new chassis to coils, and keep the tax exemption, as you will retain enough points.

 You will be asked to provide proof that the old chassis has been destroyed,  (Mine went back to the testing station to be crushed) and they will want to inspect the coil conversion. As long as it's OK, they will certify it as tax exempt.

 It has to be a series type 109 chassis, not a cut down 110.

 Mine was an 88, but the same rules apply.

Pete:
Just noticed. that's the same year as my last 109  (1963) well worth hanging on to.

Pete:
1963 Safari.
