So there are some more in series LWB's. I wonder if they are original. ajb403 As a driver what do you think of the engine in a pick up, I like it myself. Do you know if yours came out of the factory with the same top and engine as its currently got?

DVLA say its a 2.6l but that can be changed if you give them the correct paperwork. VIN mmm maybe a phone call to the clever people at Gaydon is in order if a solution is not found before they open on Monday.

Oh iv goggled the engine believe me, its good practice to do so extensively before you work on any engine. I know how rare the parts are, Iv worked on the engine and I have driven a number of miles using one as well... From my research I have found that they were defiantly fitted to: Forward...

They were fitted in 109" series 2a and 3's and Iv seen them in 5 door 109"s. Its quite a good engine for a series really, better on hills and for overtaking when driven correctly and maintained properly. Quite thirsty tho... Were they ever fitted to 3 door series LR's by the land rover for...

I'm really struggling to find the answer to this rather simple question. Did land rover themselves ever fit a 2.6L 6CLY Petrol Rover engine in to a 3 door standard 109" for the UK market ? I'm taking standard series 2/2a/3 here. I know a 2.6L was standard fitment to the 1 Tonne's. I...

My 2A is somewhat rustier than I expected, I have a pile of rust and some new bits that I ordered and some used bits from it. However its in the corner of my temperature controlled warehouse being repaired VERY slowly indeed. (It gets attention when I am in the country and can leave my EMD in...

Greigboy- no offense taken. You make an interesting point tho, yh wouldn't like to try pick my dads maserati or even his bosses e type... and they are from the same period... The crane's when they left the factory were only tested to 1.25 tons and only intended for 1 ton. :5bbanghead...

Thanks for the pic. Iv just got one of my staff to go get a copy of LRO right now... Hopefully still some on the shelf.

Thanks for the info. Il get a copy of LRO.

thankyou evryone... The havrey frost is badly dammaged... rendering that unusable (unable to tow) parts are imposiblely hard to come by, if you can find a replacement (long weight for an original SWB version) your looking at 800£ min. Thats not to mention the rust on it ... (structural...

Its a calculated risk, that needs proper calculation investigation and research! I am very specific about my cars (investments)(ie this landy will be with me for 50 yrs even if i crash it repeatedly... properly re built every ten years) so im in no rush, nor to let anyone know where it is...

anyone any idea how much it would be worth after resto? cos if i do its just about gona give me some change from 10k£ all in... That will be very original though, paint ect ect. Like it has just come from the production line. Most of the tow trucks apear to be going for between 2K and 3K...

I know the AA would have offered to buy it if they knew about it. They buy up all the Ex AA historic' rust buckets or restored and they are then restored or kept in restored condition by there mechanics who show them for the AA. I know they have two fully restored series 1's... Currently...

No replies after a few hours, humm i must be mad then attempting to do something none of you lot would !? more info: chassis state medium bad - repair possible. interiour ok needs repaint and new seats electrical system totaly chuffed - no problem there tho :) engine - runs - no chimney like...

I’m new to the land rover scene but I’m currently looking at obtain a 2A SWB petrol ex AA recovery truck from someone I known for years. I’m 18 just passed my license. Thing is it’s a bit rusty I say, very rusty, been sitting outside for some around 2.5 yrs never being...
