Thread: 2a Wagon and 2a Workshop

Hi Gerga

These ex-Army workshops are coming out of the ether everywhere!

Do you know the Army Registration Number? (You can find it in the ARN lists on remlr.com.

Welcome!

Diana

Ooooo!
A wide light workshop.
Someone will correct me but I think there were only about forty made.
Very rare.

Welcome to the forum. Next step, join REMLR.
The Registry of Ex Military Land Rovers. Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.

Gerga,

welcome to the forum.

Where abouts are you located as there is bound to be someone close that could help. As Diana said, REMLR.com can give you abit of info if you have your chassis number and as Mick mentioned, they only made 40 workshops in 1971. I note yours has a chain box at the front (not to many around) as well as what appears to be an "in service" fitted hard cover over the rear platform.
Can you post up your chassis number (found on the lefthand rear spring hanger) ?

As far as I can tell the ARN is 178-053 . The Chassis no. is 25335431G . I am in North Queensland . Any information that is availble on this vehicle would be greatly appreciated .

What is involved in joining REMLR and how do I go about doing it ?

Just fill out a form and post it off to Richard. Job done.
Another place to register on is
Military Vehicle Collectors Australia Inc.
Get to know the people on these sites. Some are a wealth of information.
I bid on a widelight workshop on ebay earlier this year but I was outbid by a fellow on this forum.

Gerga,

your ARN works out right. It was a 1971 Shop Equipment Truck (census 6037). It's original engine should be 25351475K and was disposed of from the Army on 29.04.86. All this info is from the REMLR site.

I have 2 (of the 40) late model workshops and 1 of them has the same hard cover (over the rear platform) as yours. The wide light reference is to where the headlights were moved into the gaurds from the raidiator support panel. IIRC, this happen around 69/70 for Army 2A's.

As far as joining REMLR is concerned, follow the link Mick put up. Fill out the form and send it to Richard (phoenix). No cost involved for registering you vehicle/interest and the info on the web site is also free thanks to a few dedicated soles.

More pics would be great if you have them.

No problem , I'll get those details to Richard soon . The original engine is no longer in the chassis unfortunately , the engine no. now is 25119476a . Is this an older engine than the original ? As far as I can tell so far this engine was probably made in the early 60's ?
