						here's some pict's
The Land Rover appears to be an 80" (48-51), the engine 2L early Series 2. .W.
Possibly s 2 but there's bugger all differences Cept 4 the 2.25's you'd only pick it by engine number

						The vehicle is a 1950 with chassis No. 06114727 all other numbers match, it's the engine that I'm not sure about. From my day spent searching on the net, it could be series 1 or 2? 2 ltr or 2.25, any ideas where I can find more information would be great.
its a 1958 manufactured 2 ltr spread bore motor that was most likely originally fitted to an early series 2 or a very late build series 1. my money is on it being originally fitted to a series 2.
the 2.25l engine has the distributor on the other side of the engine as both inlet and exhaust manifolds are on the same side of the engine.
