New toy! 1965 Series 2a

Afternoon all.
We got her home yesterday, and had a cleaning up day today.
Tomorrow will be a change of lubricants, and investigate some
iffy lights.
So far no real horrors, although g'box cross-member and both
footwells need doing pdq - but we've an MOT until June!
If this works, here are some piccies of the wee beastie!

Looks very late model series three at that :rolleye0012:
There's no doubt a reason it's got a most definitely late series
3 look
Not wanting to be a doomsayer but that really worries me
I hope I am proved wrong but I can't see anything that looks 'c'

Yeah there is a lot of S3 about her. A previous owner put the
diesel lump in, and the S3 'box. We reckon the bulkhead was
changed to an S3, hence the interior. Hopefully we will be able
to put her back to S2a, slowly but surely! But only a little at
a time, it's a rolling rest, and our rule is a 48 hour maximum
time to be u/s, we've too many motors off the road already!

The rear window panels are right, I think as the rear windows
are flat bottom ones. dont know if there stationwagon ones of a
series 3. I my be wrong tho.

And more of the S3 bits... previous said, when he collected it
from the previous previous owner, he forgot to pick up the S2
radiator panel. A story like that is rather irritating!

Out of pure interest can you get some shots of the underside and
the chassis
I'm sure some one on here can tell you the obvious difference
between a series three and series two chassis

Yessir, I will have a roll around under her tomorrow.
We've compared the log book with the VIN number that is stamped
on the 4x4 instruction plate, on the bulkhead above the gearbox
hump. The numbers match, and looking on t'interweb it has the
correct prefix for a 2a. So she was, at one point, a 2a. What
she is now..? I don't really know. But dad and I are still
rather happy. The price was right, the location was ok and she
is in just the right state of repair for us to do bits to,
improve and fettle without taking her off the road.
