    My guess is that the rad/sup panel is ex military as it has the 2 holes to remove the relay, the openings for the lights have been covered with a steel mesh, it has a 186 Holden engine fitted and is sporting the L/R 6 badge, and the Land Rover badge is probably not what it should be, if assembled in after a certain date would the grille badge be 'Rover Australia' cheers Dennis

    But it does run sweet and thats the most accurate badging I've seen on a holden engined landy!!!

    Because of it's crudeness, compared to a Series 1 woven flat strip grille I'm used to, I always assumed this was a homemade grille. It came off a S2a ex-army fire tender. Now looking at mick88's grille which is very similar, I'm not so sure. Were these grilles made by the army? .W.

    BSF it's the real deal.
    There seems to be so many variants of series Land Rover grills it is mind boggling. Sometimes I think if the vehicle was assembled after lunch it had a different grill fitted to it as opposed to the AM version!

    I just realized it doesn't have the grill in question pictured!
    However they were on the 2A six cylinder and the late 2A four cylinder.
    (May have been exclusive to Australia only as most others of the same era had the cross shaped (Chevron)
    grill third row, left hand side.)
    Someone else will have a better idea.
    My 4/71 wksp rover has a similar grill with the cut out as per the picture to its right.Hope this confuses things more
    WKSP rover 178058 , WKSP trailer 178025, Wksp trailer 101755,Wksp trailer 178023, 1977 ser 3 swb. GS Perentie gone to the USA.

    Just a couple of things....

    The lights-through 80inch grille was only made for one year (right now I can't recall if it was 1950 or 1951), the last couple of years of 80inchers had the inverted-T grille.

    The Series 1 inverted-T grille had a curved top edge and was narrower than the Series2-2A straight-topped grille.

    The grille that started all this was, as mentioned earlier, an Australian-only unit first seen on the Series2A 6cylinders though they frequently turn up on others of the same era. My 1969 2A 88" seems to have had one from the factory. I have noticed, though, that its horizontal bars do foul the capstan winch.

    The very late Series2A grille seems to be uniquely Australian too. It has fewer bars than the UK units I've seen from the same era.
