    When I get the car I'll post the chassis number up but after reading quite a few threads I think its a series 2, could be wrong! I think its a 1967 if that helps.

    Just thought I'd let you know that my Son is using the rebuild on his Land Rover as a school project, he was busy printing pictures out last night and sticking them to card, never thought this would happen!
    He also has got a job during the school holidays (courtesy of me) at a powder coaters, he starts on Monday, he wants to be able to buy parts and not rely on me, again never thought that would happen.


    Don't you just love what Land Rovers do to you!

    The first three digits, 243, indicate a Series 2a 88", export, RHD, CKD. It would be the 6424th such vehicle, which I am guessing will be somewhere 62-63. The A suffix was used from Late 61 to mid 63.

    John,
    For interests sake:
    I have 24306109B here (CKD Petrol 88), and B is listed as March 1963 - April 1966.
    So you expect 6424 to be a more recent vehicle than mine.


    Cheers, Mick.

    Any ideas of the age and if it is a series 2 or 2a?


    Thanks in advance.


    Did it have the ID plates on the bulkhead?
    If so the suffix letter should be on there with the vehicle number.

    But you said that we could not rely on the plate.

    Chassis and ID Plate are corresponding numbers.

    No, but if the numeric part on the chassis is the same as the numeric part on the plate, it is quite reasonable to conclude that the alphabetic suffix is the same - especially since the numbers form a continuous sequence regardless of the suffix. The reason that the plate is unreliable is that they are too easy to transfer between vehicles for them to be reliable.
