Thread: Found this it he middle of a paddock.

1972?-1984

Paul,
Nice find there. In my opinion:

It's either a late series 2A or early series 3, 1971 to 1981 perhaps.
The condition of the chassis and firewall should tell you if it's a restorer or parter. Price is also a major factor.
The scrap value would be around $300. If there is little or no rust in the chassis or firewall, it's value may increase to $400 as a restorer or parter.
A working motor and transmission makes it worth a little more.
The poorer condition car, the more expensive it will cost to restore. It's cheaper to get a restored car and give it a polish.
You may wish to look about for one in better condition for not much more.
But then again, with me, it's all about the journey.

enjoy

That is a late series 2a so 71 to a few years earlier.

Well spotted with the windscreen hinges, 1970-71 then

There was a 1972 2A at the All British Day (Qld) a couple of years ago (2009 ?). IIRC, the owner said they made them upto April 72.

funny number plate,,,

Could be as late as 72 but probably not. We had a 1972 S2A LWB 6 cylinder on the farm (it was sold and registered as such anyway) - shown in my avatar. It had the same grille, window hinges etc as the one shown in your photo.

Not sure if the S2As were still coming in grey by 1972 - I believe all the 6 cylinder models were the creamy yellow colour, and maybe the later 4 cylinder models, so being grey it was most likely a 4 cylinder when new and pre 72.

I am pretty sure it isn't a S3 - doesn't look like one, plus did the LWB S3s ever come in grey from the factory?

Cheers,
