So who can tell the difference between a 1979 Land Rover and a 1981 one ? Personally I would bung some black and white ones on and say that they were already on it when you bought it . Then plead ignorance if stopped by the rozzers . What is the worst they can do? Other than confiscate your...

Agree with you about there not being a perfect Series Land Rover , unless you spend lots of money and leave it in the garage (it won’t break down there ) .

Just to add my 50p worth . If I were in your position I would be looking for a Series II , rather than a IIa or III ,as they are rarer , having only been built from 1958 to 1961 . They are essentially the same as a IIa but with slight differences . If you have ever sell it again I think it will...

Can you explain how it transforms your 2a ? Just wondering if it would be viable on my 107” .

You must have been hanging around my son for too long . That’s his favourite trick , and he is 30 .

Mine will be coming from Australia, even less rust .

Oi, that’s my line !

Or have both . The Series One to take up valuable space in the shed and the Hilux to get things done !

My 1955 107” Series One tray back .

I think I will hold onto the spare one I have in the shed, just in case it becomes valuable .

At least you can hoover them up .

I have heard some people use Sikaflex, but I haven’t myself so can’t comment on how good it is .

Oh, I thought the last one looked like the beginning of “buy Toyota” . Now I see the first letter is a “J” not a “T”. Are you sure it is not “Jimny”?!

I read about those tests and I believe they were carried in South Africa .

Hicap, I’m like Oddball(without the hair) in Kelly’s Heroes. I just drive ‘em , I don’t fix ‘em ! However , the place to ask the question is here http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/index.php

Doesn’t matter. In a Land Rover you should never knowingly pass a petrol station without topping up !

No reason why it can’t be made roadworthy , it will just take a bit of money . If you can do some or all of the work yourselves then you can save quite a bit . Having a fiancée who is willing to go in it in a wedding dress is a definite plus . Most wouldn’t be seen dead in one . Just make...

So what do you want to do with it ? Are you into old Land Rovers , or have you just been lumbered with it and want to get rid of it ? They are not rare but are quite desirable . From what I can see the bulkheads looks quite good (obviously more photos would be required to give a proper...

What do you mean by “2a cabs are rare”? The whole vehicle or just the roof ? The cost to repair is largely dependent on what condition it is now . The biggest expense would be replacing the chassis and or bulkhead if it were needed . Does it run ? Is it a diesel or petrol ? Is it all original...

You could always get a set of number punches and put the number on the chassis yourself . As long as it matches the one on the logbook ....then daub on the underseal !
