Here are a few pics. I will post more as I get it cleaned up.

aww ffs, that's mint!
you jammy jammy bastid.

that is mint. any chance of a photo of the front right spring hanger?

nice looking series mate, looks awesome. i dont know about ones sent to the US on export but that has a fair few aspects that may mean it was built earlier than 1963

that chassis is mint, when you say restoration what did u mean,

I plan to go thru and clean everything up and get it back to as stock as possible. Usually I cut my rigs up and wheel the hell out of them but this one has sentimental value.

It would be criminal to cut that up.

Will never happen. This was my Grandfathers LR

Why is everyone saying get rid of the side steps? They may not be to everyone's taste, but they are correct accessories.
Nice motor though, pity about all the white paint.

Having looked at the pictures again, the restoration it does need is the dash board.

yer probly got one of the best ( un restored ) series 2a's ah seen for a long time

all the ones i'v had were like this to start with ;





so , realy yer on to a winner, straighten it up and thats it.

whats the price of petrol in your parts ?

Did anyone see that classic series one a few years back that was rebuilt perfectly ex mil imported from cyprus or somwhere like that. Rebuilt as new costing approx 15K and he drove it around his quarry jumping it and at the end of the day used a 360 on it and destroyed it? Criminal! but if you's got the money I supose.

Ok what would cause this thing to loose its brakes out of no where yesterday it had brakes and today it does not There are no leaks. Where should I start?

If the fluid is still in there and its been stood awhile I guess the master cylinder seals have failed.See it as an oppertunity to go right through them before you end up crashing.

I will order a Rebuild kit and see if that takes care of it.

Thanks

I found a rebuild kit from Rovers North. Does a C.B. 88" kit sound about right?

I ordered a new exhaust from the manifold back and a rebuild kit for the master cylinder
