I would nt consider myself to be a Landrover expert by any means , but
it looks like a series 3 to me.

Certainly the bulhead, sreen hinges and door hinges do any way!!

I think that one admits to a SIII bulkhead. There's not a lot, visually,
between a IIA and III apart from the things you mention and the bonnet
leading edge - I think the IIIs may all have had the "deluxe" bonnet. The
one in question has a "plain" SII-type bonnet.

however, the yellow one I noted on eBay looks a better bet - also the camo
one if you don't mind the non-standard look.
