The only correct thing on those details are that it runs on petrol, even the colour is wrong ffs.

I can't find the advert on fb anymore ...
https://www.facebook.com/PJHustler/photos
that's his profile page and he's advertising it for sale on there.
I've just asked him "which part of your land rover is from 1961?"
I await a response.

report him to plod ,,daft tw,,t ,,ffs that was someones pride and joy he is flogging on !
hold your horses boys n girls..... its a series by the looks of things although a 3 not a 2......
look at the z bar on the front steering suggests its a leafer with a spring over axle conversion
dash and bulkhead are series 3 as is rear tub
has a series gearbox.. did nobody spot the red n yellow levers??
axles are narrow ... ie a series .. hence the banded super wide wheels to fill the arches... a fender wouldn't need the wheels as axles are wider...
its only dodgy as its more series 3 than 2.... windscreen, front wings n bonnet n doors are all a straight swap
its even still got standard series steering box......
cheers steve

series body (rear n bulkhead)
series axles hence the need for wide wheels cos its narrow n fitted with freewheeling hubs (no point on a fender axle)
series gearbox
series springs
series chassis
series tank
series dash
series filler
and standard series steering box....
in fact very little ISN'T series...

pretty certain you lot jumped way to quick the only thing non series is the doors, the windscreen and a few other bits seats most likely, the bulkhead is series as is the full rear tub gearbox its hard to find parts that don't belong to either a series 2 or 3 so give the guy a break its no ringer
yep its amazing how fast the bandwagon fills up with sheep with an 'expert opinion' instead of actually looking at whats clearly there and having an individual view.... 10 slating comments in under an hour but nothing since the glaring oversights were pointed out
cheers steve

In your own words "its a series by the looks of things although a 3 not a 2......"
So as you say it's mostly a series 3, with the engine out of something else and the body off a defender.
I still say it ain't kosher in one way or another.

looks like a decent project ,many thousands of which must have been built over the years as long as parts arent stolen and anyone buying used parts runs that risk ,probably more kosher than dr evils build
my own words are quite correct, series 3 bulkhead, dash, heater, handbrake etc...
however I didn't join the burn the heretic rant about it being a fender or otherwise
cant tell if the axles are 2 or 3 in the pics but there is nothing at all to suggest it isn't totally legal, as long as rebuilt pre 96 its fine
slating the seller, claiming its mostly fender and saying prob someone elses pride n joy and stolen just because it has a few fender panels????
jumping on a bandwagon without looking at evidence (in many of the posts) reveals mass hysteria with a deep psychological need to feel part of a group and agree at all costs without looking at the evidence...
as monty python said.... 'burn her shes a witch'
cheers steve
Doc is not Jewish, so why does he need Kosher
I've regularly called my landy a pig so its definitely not kosher lol and matt yep apologies yours was the post just giving the dvla details
