There is also a series 1 and 111 coming up for auction on the 24th this month. I would also love a s11a registered around my birthday. |

Absolutely perfect... but that's never going to sell for £2,500 to £3,000 is it?

[img]https://www.defender2.net/gallery/albums/userpics/12115/normal_JULY%202014%20002.JPG[/img]  I have had "Neddy" as my only vehicle since 1971, she was registered in 1962. Recently she developed a nasty knock so an engine change is on the cards, probably to the later 5 bearing crank from a series 3. Only done 220,000 miles.
I wish I had bought her new. I find the steering a bit heavy these days, I am 76 with dodgy knees. 
Go ahead and buy one before the prices get silly. [img]https://www.defender2.net/gallery/albums/userpics/12115/normal_JULY%202014%20002.JPG[/img] The 90 on the left belongs to my son, properly brought up! |

Some very nice Series landies!
 
I've got a 1975 Series 3 SWB that i've had since i was 16, bought in 1993. It's been off the road for the last 10 years  but it's just had a 200Di fitted and been tidied up so will be back in use soon! The only issue is convincing Mrs K that i really do need 2 landies...   Hopefully the free tax from next year should help!

Has it lost its original registration number? Steve.

Yes, it was originally BLM 210 but taken off in the 60s.

Thought so, I had a pre war saloon that had lost it's number so had been issued with one in the same number range as yours. Cracking looking Series though - more pics please

That looks great
More pics please. Only mod I would suggest is adding mirrors on the door hinges, the wing mounted mirrors are worse than useless and in today's traffic,  dangerous
