Les Henson Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I was given a 1967 S2A a while ago and it's been sat on the front of my house for quite a while while I decide what I want to do with it. I did notice that it has two chassis plates - one on the inside of the bulkhead by the transmission tunnel cover, and one on the back of the front panel - as in a S3, it also has the chassis number stamped in the usual place close to the O/S/F dumb iron. I decided to check the numbers against those on the vehicle today and it looks like the truck is actually a S3 with a S2A exempt registration. Log book says:- Registration mark - MFL 111F Date of first registration - 19/12/1967 Make - Land Rover Model/type - 88" - 4 CYL Light 4X4 Utility Historic Vehicle 2286 CC VIN/Chassis No. - 271087540 Engine number - 27143012J So on the vehicle:- Chassis (on the chassis) - 90625466A Plate inside vehicle - 27108754D On front panel - 99625466A Engine number - S90600863C So, not at all legal on the road and it's going in the bin now. If anyone is interested in any bits off it - let me know. As long as it can still roll onto the back of a wagon to get it down the tip. It has a Fairey O/D on it, but the lever is broken where it pivots on the little shaft that sticks out of the main unit. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 How much do you want for the log book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 you could still sell the chassis only as a Series 3 one and wouldn't be lying about it's origin unlike the previous owner, just remove the ident plate from the bulkhead & sell as 'to fit either S2 or S3' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 How much do you want for the log book? I was thinking of buying 300TDi Disco and swapping the reg over - no-one will know Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMarineInc Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Les; could you post some photos of it up? I need some odd bits for my 68IIa. If you part it out, I'd love to make a list up. Is the bulkhead the proper IIa? I have been looking for the complete opening/operating levers for the bulkhead vents. I bought new vents for my truck, but have none of the hardware to open and close them. Also, if yours has a deluxe bonnet, I need all of the parts to put the spare tire on the bonnet. I have the large round dish plate, but none of the bolts, and hardware. On a funnier note; now you know why it was given to you. If the price is too good, it's probably too good to be true.

ciderman Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 All joking aside Les I did notice a D1 once on a what i thought was a cherished plate .

Les Henson Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Diesel Jim already made a similar (but far more smutty) reply a while ago. You two will be first against the wall when the revolution comes - it'll just have to be a wide and tall wall Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
