Series 2 Difference 2 and 2A

Phil Gibbs · Jul 24, 2018

Please don’t laugh at this, but what is the difference between a series 2 and a 2A ?.
I have a 1960, 88” Station wagon.
Thanks phil

Good question, I've wondered that myself. I don't know the answer but the 2 is rarer than the 2A and I'd love one.

Series 2's built 58 to 60 but the reg for some may be later.
Some pointers to difference's.
Head lamps of 2's are proud of the grill,2a's are flush.
Vent flaps are opened with a turn knob on 2's, leavers on 2a's.
There were no indicator position pressings in the front wings on 2's. Most were fitted with indicators though and you may notice the lamps point up some as they were just screwed to the wing.
Horn button on a stalk on most 2's in the steering wheel on 2a's.

The front valance on the 2 is flat the 2a has a curve.

As is often the case with Landrovers built near model change over years they are often a mix of features. My 63 2a has a flat valance.
