well its rusty for sure but its ex mod for sure as well its got the thicker leaves on the back that were used on mod vehicles so its ex mod

ok a couple of you have claimed it's ex-mod, this is not quite correct but it does have military history, exactly what history i'm unsure of but the vehicle is genuinely historic and ex-military

it's a rather unusual 88" and i only know of two others on this chassis in this country (took me two years to find the other two), i know there were a minimum of ten imported in the mid eighties by one company (who i believe imported this one) and there may have been another five imported by another company

truck cabs, wings, doors, door hinges, tail gates can all be mostly ignored (as can all bodywork) when trying to decide if a vehicle is of a certain age or model, you really do need to get past superficial appearances to be sure

this truck wasn't built with a truck cab, it has been retro-fitted along with S3 wings and front panel, a deluxe dished bonnet and S3 door hinges, i also bought it with a set of 5" rims wearing 6.00x 16 tyres rather than the correct size 5.5" rims and 7.50 x 16 tyres

yes it is my truck, i have researched it, spent quite a while researching it to learn what it is and where from

i'm just wondering how knowledgable folks here are when identifying these old motors rather than jumping the gun and making assumptions
 
ok i'll give the year(s), it's a 1970/71 which i doubt will help too much in actually identifying it apart from telling you that it is a 2a
 
close mrwoppit but no cigar :p

the only mods are the removal of certain standard bits (wings,bonnet,rad' panel, hinges and a couple of other bits) and replaced with the S3 items

i doubt the mudflaps or drop plate were standard items either

look carefully ,thats a early chassis.
Back in the day series 1s and 2 etc were junk and hybrids were common on the trials scene ,even applauded before they became rare and the tax exemption came in.
I found a junked out series 2a and was going to fit landcruiser axles and better engine but that would make me a car ringer in your book as well:confused:

That chassis has coil springs and a longer wheelbase than a series I. The modification to the chassis means it should have a Q plate. In addition to this, the vehicle has different axles, engine and gearbox to the Series 1 that it is registered as, again these mods mean it should be on a Q plate. Whilst it may not be strictly a ringer, it is certainly a case of Vehicle ID fraud with the intent to avoid paying tax and avoid having to be MOT'd. As for your other question. No, fitting a different engine & axles to a series Land Rover does not make it a ringer, and as long as that is all you change, you may have enough points from the other components to keep the original ID.

his ad originaly said that the 110 was built on a 1961 Range Rover chassis so I emailed him and pointed out that RR's didn't exist until 1970 so he's changed it :rolleyes:

Might have to send him another one pointing out that RR chassis's were only 100"

I thought ringer at first, but if you look it does look like 100" maybe just maybe it could be a hybrid

Even if it was a hybrid (and there is no way in hell that it is) it should still be on a Q plate but there is no way that is 100" :doh:
