eLMeR ◊ 2017-03-10 02:09	Early 1973 would mean a Series III, which is indeed impossible with the headlamp location → 1961-68 Series IIa by default (a purely arbitrary choice: if I'm not mistaken, there is no visible details in these pictures to identify a Series II over a Series IIa) -- Last edit: 2017-03-10 02:14:20
Keats ◊ 2017-03-16 01:56	I'm no good with Land-Rovers... Rather than cause admin grief by uploading a whole lot of vehicles which may or may not already be here, could someone please ID these ones for me? This one is in numerous episodes, including a chase or two: Episode 150: Episode 157: Another from the same episode - Series IIa 109"? Thanks in advance! -- Last edit: 2017-03-16 01:57:24
