Yes it starts and runs fine. I have no idea what people are referring to when they describe it as rare. Unsure if its the roof part. Fingers crossed the chassis and bulkhead don't need a complete change. Will know more on Saturday when I get to have a closer look. Inside is just dirty full...

That is very useful to know and thank you for your advice. Your time is appreciated. I will know more saturday when the vehicoe will be lifted up to check underneath.

Thank you thats really helpful to know. A few have said its rare to see a 2a cab and with the low millage and unique number plate it really is a keeper.

Hi and thank you thats really useful advice. I'm hoping the chassis does not need to be replaced or only small sections need repairing which I would be thrilled about. I will certainly keep you all informed

Thanks Col that's really helpful. If we can have it medically made sound without replacing the whole chassis I will be very happy!! We are certainly learning not to believe everything a restoration garage say because at the end of the day they are in it to make money. I will certainly be...

Yes we love the reg too it makes it more appealing. Thanks for the info

Thank you thats much appreciated. I will let you know how it goes on Saturday with some photos if that's ok

That would have been ideal. Been advised to keep the rustic look and to be honest I think I prefer it that way as it shows its years. The battery was flat last weekend so we couldn't get it started. Its been on charge since so it should be OK come the weekend. Its been used up until May when...

We don't want a high standard at all. Just to be road worthy and tidied up. Your 2a looks fab. What was it like at the beginning and how much did it cost you to get it where it is today?

Needs some money spent on it but I think it will be so worth it

We would have to pay a garage to complete the work. We have a restoration garage nearby that is desperate to complete the work. I'm going back to where its currently stored on saturday to take some more pictures.

Come across this post and noted you mentioned series 2a cabs are rare nowadays. I've come into possession of one and I don't know what to do with it. ( handed down in a will ). What is its current worth and how much do you think it would cost to restore to a decent standard? Any advice would...

We definitely do not want to sell but we have no idea what we are dealing with. Any advice most welcome.

I have been to 3 local landrover specialists in the local area. 2 quoted between 6k and 8k and the other 2.5k to 4k to sell. Quoted 7k for chassis including brakes etc to get it up to standard.

Genuine 25k miles. Used for the last 8 years to carry fishing equipment from one end of farm to another. 3 owners. Last MOT recorded 2005 with 23,120 on the clock

I do apologise. Hopefully these will assist
