G'day TommyK
WHY oh WHY
the Value of your vehicle is it's uniqueness as one of a VERY FEW Australian LRPV's built, It is unique because it is on an Australian Series 2/2a RAISED Chassis,and it has it's own chassis No 253*******Suffix# by fitting a Series 3 chassis which is of STANDARD Build, if them makes it a Hybrid
and of NO historical value whatsoever the Series 3 chassis differs in the following.
1 Chassis is 2x"C" sections centre welded, 2a flat plate edge welded.
2 Chassis vertical wall is of different dimentions (it is heigher)
3 The Series 3 chassis was never built as a 1ton chassis in Australia.
4 The Military Series 3 chassis was only ever built as a 6 cylinder unit.
5 The chance of being able to totally replicate it as a 2a is minimal.
I am sorry but I would have thought that with a vehicle as rare as this you would have gone to the trouble to straighten the chassis to keep the authenticty of it
I went to the trouble to straighten my chassis and that was only on a GS.
Rant over.
