Late series 2a according to the chassis number....



That said has it got series 3 bulkhead/interior....

Box type screen hinges rather than flat plate type.... Plastic dashboard rather than metal type etc.... Late series 2a's have headlights in the wings same, as s3's and often end up with plaggy s3 grills.
That said the fact that the body type is different doesn't mean jack.....

Could be genuine.... Could be a bag of bits with a tax exempt Id.......

It could have had a series three bulkhead to replace a rotten 2A one. Just enjoy it for what it is and take advantage of tax exempt status. If you mileage is low both series 2 & 3 qualify for classic insurance. Body styles are variable to suit the needs/whims of the owner.

If its got a metal dash with dials in the centre, then it sounds pretty 2a inside. Just box hinges don't make it series 3 and their pretty easy to replace any way.

If you just mean the vin plate then it's probably been replaced. They are easy to replace as well.
