Log book info
BeJay:
If I were you I'd get it checked out with Gaydon for a definite build date, mine came to me registered on a 'Y' plate as an '83 motor but that's when it was demobbed and first registered on civilian plates, I checked it out and it was built in Dec '73 :'( :'( so it isn'tax free but I still got it re-registered on an age related plat 'M'. If you're really lucky you could find yours was built on or before Dec 31st '72 which would make it free tax :dance: :dance: and you can then re-register it on an age related plate as well.
cheers, Jack.

The chassis stamping is theoretically the easyest to locate is they are all roughly in the same place on most landys, that is the outside of the front right spring hanger behind the front bumper - basically as forward and right as you can get, stamped on the thicker bit. In reality paint, rust and chassis repairs could render it unreadable or missing.
Chassis number plate. Various locations over the years, you might also have an army plate which probably also has it but there still should be a rover plate too - on later vehicles it also has weights on it. Places to look... Inside the cab... Middle of bulkhead, bulkhead near steering column, seatbox. Also look for 4 holes where the plate used to be before it got lost - It happens! Under bonnet... Front panel near rad, bulkhead near master cylinders, master cylinder bracket itself. They tend to be riveted on.
The chassis/VIN number will eather be about 9 numbers followed by a suffix letter (old style rover chassis number) or a 17 digit mix of numbers and letters beginning SAL (modern worldwide standardised VIN number, used from the early 80's).
Surely if you've got info off a logbook it'll have the VIN/chassis number on it too?

4 landies:
well I got the logbook so got in touch with gaydon and info was given.
It was built sep 78 and was green so thats my questions answered
DEANO3528:
Series 3 of that age would have the chassis number on a plate on the bonnet slam plate.
It's Forces service plate was usually above the footwell benath the steering wheel. This would give it's batch number, service registration number and chassis number.
If you can find the service reg, you can contact Army Logistics who can usually give you all the work it's done up to demob.

Royal Logistic Corps Museum, in Deepcut, Surrey :D
I think they charge a small "donation" towards the upkeep of the Museum though?!
