I picked up a land rover from my grandpa who passed away 2 years ago. I pick it up at his estate sale. I think its a series 2 or 2a. I will be restoring it in the next few years. I need some help and info on it thanks.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/RyansZr2/IMG_0336.jpg

Abandon all hope, you've been bitten by the bug.

Welcome to the cult.

Thanks Ive always wanted this before he died . Now to find some parts to rebuild

The plates down under the dash below the manual throttle will tell you if it's a 2 or 2a. But looking at the photos I think it's an early 2a.

Looking at the door tops will as well! If the doors are original and the door tops can be removed, it's a IIA, if not, it's a II. But, that was discussed on Dweb:flipoff2:.

Nice!!

Kodiak (or some type close) heater and hand throttle, delux dished bonnet.:beer:

What do you think its worth? And should I leave stock or mod the rover?

It is a IIa.

Koenig PTO winch on the front, factory ashtray (these get big $$$ on ebay), hand throttle, kodiak heater, pick up top.

If it were not a rusty POS it would be a great starting point. :flipoff2:

But it does have 11a scuttle vent levers and the vents themselves look to be spot welded on, which is IIa.

Looks like a regular station wagon top to me. The rear quarter windows are flat. The pickup's quarter window wrapped the corner. I don't think it's a Koenig winch, at least not a King.

I'm always for leaving them stock, but I'm in the minority. I used to feel like mods were a reasonable route to go, but the old ones in original condition are getting harder to find.
