CR88 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi, As far as I can see, is a series 3 Land Rover. The interior is from a series 3. Only the seats aren´t original, believing in my knowledge. What is year of the LR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjim555 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 the seats are infact transit seats, at the time i bought it it was advertised as a series 2a and with goin by the lights in the wings it was 1969ish, i had a few people lookin at it and they seemed to think it wa series 3, the manual that can be seen in the pics is for a series 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 its a ser3 dash for sure has it got syncro on 1st and 2nd gears? have u got a pic of windscreen mounts? the whole bulkhead could've been changed to a ser3 one. there are differences in the chassis between the 2 aswell.

CR88 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The dashboard, the manual accelerator, the windows are from a Series 3. Maybe the gear level is from a IIA or II. The series 3 start their production in 1971, but there are models of transition. But to be honest I don't what kind of items are included in the transition models. Only for the interior, is a series 3. But show more pictures of the exterior to conclude it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yep series three bulkhead, dash etc - could still be a series 2, as when the bulkheads rotted they quite often got replaced with series three items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjim555 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 not sure on wat work the guy before had done to it as he had no interest in it other than carting straw and stuff about the farm on a trailer. these are the only pics i have in work, it was orginally a truck cab hence no windows in the rear.

Gromit Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 As i mentioned in the 'switching off' topic that my interior is the double of a series 3! could it be a series 3? is there any key features that would identify which series i have? I went up and looked at this truck last week and reckoned it was a series III. Didn't drive it though or look at the documents. Looking underneath it was enough for me!

sotal Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thats super!!! thanks very much!! So are you glad you ended up with an 83 Series 3, or upset that you didn't get the Series 2a you thought you had?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjim555 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 haha am happy with the series 3 , its as well i hadnt ordered a new chassis for a series 2 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 That's ok then! How does the road tax work there? Here the series 2 would be tax exempt but the series 3 would be £180/year - so though the series 2 would probably fetch more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
