Hi Ferno, style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
First of all VIN numbers as a term did not come in until the advent of Australian ADR's All prior to that were always known as CHASSIS No's and BODY No's
From the photos posted it looks a Series 2--2a, and by the Dash Instruments I would put it at between 59---61 Series 2 or at the latest a 64 Series 2a being a long wheelbase the Chassis No will be on the rear spring hanger on the LEFT REAR SPRING If Series 2 will read 151xxxxxxx If Series 2a same place and reads 253xxxxxxxxx if you give the No i will date it from my Master parts Books,

Hi Ferno style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
Ho here, Calvin wins a chuppa-chup, 8O style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif
It is indeed a 1960 model, chassis No 1334 off the line in 60 year build, it is a RHD CKD (Complete Knock Down) and would have assembled at Leyland /BMC in Sydney at Milperra, the body ,No 2463 would have been built at Pressed Metal Corp at Chullora and mated up at Milperra. the same set up as Incisor's Shorty.

thanks rocket , now i know where it was built 8) and where it is going to be dis-mantled style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

will have to get the numbers from the green / white beasty and see what you come up with style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif


ok , the suspense was killing me, so here they are

lrl3743
1093743

153 101 354

knock yourself out !

Hey Ferno,
Are you cornering the market on Series 2's as they are both series 2 models, the quick way to ID ser2 is Chassis No 14xxxx = ser2 -88" 15xxxx = Ser 2 109" for Series 2a's the Chassis No starts with 2, I.E. 24xxxx = 88" and 25xxxx = 109" that's all I will tell you,

153101354 == 1961-------1353rd chassis produced in 61 year model probably built about October 1960 in UK (model year Sept-Aug) the other one probably in late 59, if one or both are ex-army they are some of avery few left, Are you going to split up the new one for parts :?: style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif what is wrong with it ? :? the Body No 3743 would be the 3742nd built for that year. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

:oops: it is with great regret that the new vehicle (ironically the oldest one!)will be destined for dis-assembly due to fair amounts of rust in the chassis and some real bodgey patchwork on the firewall.
the rear x-member is frazzed, a couple of outriggers have rust ,and the main chassis rail over the rear axle is de-laminating,eg the bottom of the box section is coming adrift and splitting style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif
however, the main body panels are fine , the rear tub is in excelent condition so may put that on the ex-mil greeny ,so it will be the green/white beasty! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif I can see a paint job coming on :x

[fernockulated]

:roll: thats the best thing about living out here in the sticks, plenty of room for spare vehicles ,just got rid of three today with another two to go on monday, all the spares for the kids cars ,now they left home they are no longer required so off they went(swmbo is gunna be happy when she gets home from camp tomorrow! 8) )more room for more landys!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif
