Civilian rear cross member,  Doesn't look like it ever had any TAC sign holders on the rear tub, later type indicators / parking lights on the front wings, and a civilian bonnet release?

VicRoads has the chassis number as 24309319B, which I couldn't find in the ARN list.

So, possibly not!

Hi all,

Possible stupid question incoming -

Weren't all the 1/4 ton 2A 's built in 63 ?

[pop058]

did the Vic roads thing as well with the (obviously) same result. I have shot off a PM to him asking for chassis number confirmation.

The ad says 65, but the vic roads report says 64. 2A shorties were 63 and 64 IIRC

is this a real one?

No support bracket on the brush bar
two passenger side bumperettes (drivers side upside down)
No Nato plug at back
looks like helper springs on rear
splash panel at the front

probably a bitsa, or a CR looking like a 2A?

Mine was March 64 and there were quite a few from 64.

Hi all,

Thanks for the "heads up" on the build dates. So what's the jury's decision ?

Army or Civie ?

Cheers,

I have not had a response to a message I sent him, but my money would be on civy.

yeah no response to my question either, the Vicroads report states its a '64 with chassis number 24309319B - not in the database, also rego expired Dec 15.

And the next question, does either answer make it worth $15,000?

Nope,

I've worked it out, his wife said get rid of it, he said OK I'll sell it on ebay - oh! no bids nobody wants it, might as well keep it, at least I tried...............bla bla bla

[Magellan]

The wife probably said "it's GOTTA GO!" 'Yes dear" (he says begrudgingly) as he knowingly puts a price on it guaranteed not to sell

My opinion, it's a civilian L/Rover made to look like an S2A GS, the give away for me, is the front dumb irons are not extended, I can't see the rear (front rear mount) either but it has just had a lot of bolt on items put on it, just my threepence worth, any good enthusiast would pick it out quickly, the chassis number listed is not S2 C/R related either, cheers Dennis

I am with you Dennis.
