ID of this Land Rover

Yes, as the others have said, factory six except tor the aircleaner, which is what the grille says it should be. Looks to be in quite good shape and would do up nicely.

Quite a good model, albeit a bit thirsty, and as mentioned, some do not like the engine, which will not stand up to abuse and neglect like the four will.

Where exactly do I need to look on the Chassis etc to get ID info? What would I need to quote number etc wise to get it road registared???

(Obviously needs work before it is shown to the Trans authority)

Chassis number should be on the flat bit of the chassis that the shackle mounts onto at the back of the LH rear spring, facing outwards. It should also be on a plate somewhere in the cab, probably the same plate that has the transfer gear lever instructions. There will also probably be a separate plate with a Pressed metal Corporation number adjoining it. This is a different number, and not the one you want. The registration authority will want the one stamped on the chassis.

If it were late enough to have a VIN and ADR compliance plate, which it almost certainly is not, then this would be either on the engine side of the fireall at the top and somewhere near the middle, or on the radiator support panel.

If it has a Grenville Motors ID tag PM me the numbers and I may have some of the original sales history.

Be a little careful with the above post, not all Rover saloon cars have 3.9 diff centres.

The Rover P3 had 4.88
The Rover 75 and 90 had 4.3
The Rover 3 litre (P5) had 3.9
The Rover P5B had 3.54

I know a little about Rover cars, but I don't have access to the Grenville Motors books for the cars. You would have to go to Arthur Garthon direct for that information.
