If you have a receipt with the correct chassis number, you should have little drama.
It looks fairly original and in reasonable nick.
Clean it up, get a RWC, and present the vehicle, RWC and receipt at a Vicroads office for registration.
Oh, check the vehicle securities register for the chassis and engine numbers.

Im going with an early IIA based on

wipers
windshield brackets
firewall fuse panel
engine emission control setup
timing plate on the flywheel housing
starter push button on the firewall

I have little doubt it is a 2/2a, probably the latter, from dash, hinges, other details, but with quite a few modifications, including extractors and an alternator, as well as the instruments and extra lights, and carburettor and aircleaner already noted.

Mick rust in passenger A pillar which is put your finger thru but I knew that when I bought it
I am given to believe it is mechanically sound engine rebuilt etc
when I was loading it underside was very clean no oil leaks that I could see
Apparently it was rebuilt owner passed away and it was used for running around farm until a fuel pump issue and it was pushed under a tree and left
The family saw no value in an old land rover
Once I establish what I have I will decide how to make it a lot less hybrid
It also has a full roll cage under canopy odd!!!
Cheers Paul

Also has Two fuel tanks with change over lever on seat base
Something my military 2A had many years ago Unfortunately sold decades ago
Cheers

check to make sure it has oil in it

crossed my mind also

thats quite an array of instruments on the flight deck!! And yes 11A is the series I would say. With the bolt/screw/nail(Dont laugh! I have seen it!) build method of landies they can end up looking all sorts of things.
