Only if you can afford the not insignificant cost of owning one . And anyone who is proposing to go overlanding in a 2A is probably not in that position .

Why ever not ! And don’t tell me Land Rovers are better , because they are not .

Oh , if it is for overlanding get yourself a Land Cruiser .

Get a Series Three if you really must, but a Series Two looks better. Put an ACR 2.25 petrol engine in it and parabolic springs. Opinion is divided about parabolics, but there is no doubt that they give a softer ride than normal springs . Doing that means you will not annoy the DVLA and you get...

Do you still have your second hand nylock collection in your lounge ?

I’ll hold onto my spare 2 1/4 for a bit longer then .

I believe the first 1500 , or so, Series 2s had 2ltr. petrol engines in , after that they used 2 1/4ltr. engines . They were basically using up their stock of 2ltr. engines . Therefore by the time yours was built it would have been a 2 1/4. What is in it at the moment ? Putting the correct...

Not knowing how much you know about Series Land Rovers I am going to risk telling you something you already know , but here are a couple of photos which hopefully show you main differences between the the 2A and the 3 . If your son’s 2A is as old as the number plate would indicate that it was...

So why is that nonsense ? We are looking at the front and TO ME the Series 2A looks better than the Series 3 . You would also see a difference in the cab as the dashes are completely different . And why would you want to make a Series 2 look like a lesser Series 3 ?

Well ,if it were mine I would do all that . The Series 2A looks much better than a Series3 , especially when the grill is the correct one .

I have a complete ACR 2 .25l engine in my 1955 Series One 107” trayback and it goes nicely . Not as fast as when it was in my 86” but it can certainly hold its own in traffic. It has even been known to overtake a Range Rover !

Oh you are such a Silly Sausage , Bobsy . Anyway . It is the front seat from the long lost Centre steer prototype and probably worth £1,000 . Snap it up while you can .

There are , but they are not admitting it !

http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/index.php?topic=37237.0 the ad says he charges £130.00 more for a non exchange rad that an exchange rad . So that might imply that he would pay £130 for a second hand rad . Well, it does to me , but I bet he doesn’t.

Advertise the rad on the Series One club forum , I am sure there is someone there who will take it off your hands , and will probably pay you money . They are quite sought after . Don’t scrap it .

What happened to the front panel and was it any good ?

Actually, on some Series Ones you can put the windscreen down with the spare wheel on the bonnet .Though I can’t answer for Series 2s and 3s.

Any use ? By the way , mine is a 1955 107” Series One ,so your Series Three might be set up differently.

Unfortunately I can’t actually tell how the throttle linkages were done as they were done by my mechanic . All I can do to help is take some more photos of what is there and you will have to work out for yourself how it goes .
