    Windscreen seal - oem or genuine?

    Genuine is better as the screens are easy to break

    Fair comment she is what she is A good solid landy that needs no welding

    Series 2 Series 2a galv chassis

    I'm aware of the reasons why she may have a newer front end on ,ie tax exempt status or been crashed but it never bothered me What ordinary classic car is truly original after 50 or so years ?

    Series 2 Series 2a galv chassis

    Yes she seems to have a series 3 front end Better to have a new series 3 bulkhead than a rotten series 2 bulkhead !
