    There were several grills over the years, in Australia we had different welded wire grills to the square woven mesh of the UK build and army variants. Many people believe the welded wire were fitted only to the 6 cyl, however I know they were also fitted to 88" which discounts 6 cyl belief.

    Irrespective of the truth, what is fitted today 42 years after being built may have no bearing on what it had when it rolled off the end of the assembly line.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    2a 4cyl 1965

    This is a picture of a 65 4cyl transmission tunnel:



    There are a few more photos of the old girl here: Family Land Rover 1965 S2a pictures by rschipp - Photobucket

    I know this one now has a 186 in it, we were the ones that pulled out the 4cyl and put it in.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers

    I still can't tell, the engine bulge is about 4 inches infront of the instrument panel so I guess it's ment to be a 4cyl.

    If you go by the photo provided(by RSCHIPP) you can see all the trans tunnel you can remove, if it was a 6cyl the firewall cut out is much larger (To about 1/2 way up the vinyl covered section)

    It has a push button starter also the models with the push putton start also had twin wiper motors fitted through the windscreen frame and (apart from the SIIa Forward Control,) none were Six cylinder.

    All six cylinder were key start.

    Ok, mines a push button start and single windscreen wiper motor. I had a look at the bulkhead and crossmember and it was originally a 4cyl. Thanks everyone for the help.
