This is what we're talking about:

I'd very much doubt it left JRA like that - the adaption to its current form most likely evolved in service, like the RFSV's.

As for rego, it would need a windscreen for starters, and the door latch mechanisms would be anti-burst, and that MG mount on the head impact/dash pad is a no-no, etc etc....

Personally - nothing - but bugs in the eyes at 100 aren't much fun.

This is more what I'm interested in. What did it look like when it left the factory?

What was added by whom and when?

And the most interesting thing is the compliance plate states it is a 3 seater. Which one of the extra seats complies? How is it set up? What factory set up does this allow us to copy and install an extra seat that doesn't need any (as much maybe) engineering to have an extra seat?

Mine is a 2 seater but has 3 on the compliance plate. Not an issue.

I think they're up there in the ranks for ugliest Land Rover ever, my guess is you'd spend most of your time converting it back to be more like a GS and then still have issues getting it on the road. The full width tailgate is good though

I'd love to have it. I'd leave it as is.
