Land Rover 1971 Series 2a Workshop

Hopefully the pic has uploaded successfully !

I noticed an old thread about a 'damage plate at 12 miles', mine has one at 9 miles but as per my Earlier Post I wondered if this was affixed after a previous body was used, mine has a plate on the rear body saying 1966 and when supplied new it was a chassis cab

I like the rear body, bit different.

You can add. 25335436G

It does look good and create a large load area, well made and in keeping with the vehicle, not sure if it was a replacement job whilst with the Army or constructed since, the floor is original and the plate is fixed to the floor behind the rear wheelarch hump.It has all the fittings arond the side for the rear tarp which I also have, the rear tailgat is full width, when I searched the number it said it was a Machinary platform.

She was previously owned by dunarunna and stripey1

Anyone have ideas on the pro's and con's of oiling the leaf springs ?

Mick .... just to clarify .... 1971

Ok , very funny, I was thinking before I was to,d that they may have been some before 71.

Now you know why I want your Workshop. It's rarer than an Australian delivered 101. It makes a Gunbuggy look commonplace.

So workshops with head lights in the wings 40 in total

What about other variants with head lights in the wings?

And gun buggys how many of these made?

There were also forty series three workshops which are also wide light, of course.
As far as I am aware, the workshops are the only ex-mil SIIA wide lights.
Don't know how many gunbuggies were made but I'm guessing more are in the hands of collectors and survive than the SIIA wide light workshops.
For me the ultimate Ex-Mil series would be a fire tender. I know where there is one just crying out for a little TLC but the owner doesn't want to sell it and if he did, I'd be well down on the list.
