2a safari

<< < (6/6)

Bob Ajob:
That one is definitely a 2a. Series 3 started in 1971, Series IIa ended in 1971, the two overlapped for about 6 months, I can't get my hands on the actual dates, not that many people actually know, it was a bit vague at the time, and more so now.

fire boy si:
i was told the main frame of the chassis is what they are looking at in terms not the mounting points because a 110 chassis is deeper in sectional width than a series 2a/3 this came from the men at the ministry i asked a former lr mech and now a ministry man cos i wanted to do the same with my 2a/3

Pete:
Exactly!
 That's why ypu have to start with a series chassis, not a shortened 90 or 110.
 As long as the chassis is right, it's still classed as a series motor.

Unfortunately the Series 2 Club DVLA Official doesn't agree with you.  According to him (and I have shown him this topic), he hasn't a clue where that Ministry Official is getting his info from.  Because it is different to what the S2C's chap is told when he is in direct contact with the DVLA HQ and Offices.

You can contact him through the following email address:
vro@series2club.co.uk

I recommend getting in direct contact with the DVLA Officials yourself before undertaking any form of major alterations to a vehicle's design.  Because it wouldn't be very good if you've just spent a large amount of money and spent a large amount of time doing something, only to find that you'll have to put it on a Q plate and have an SVA.
