Ce n'est pas un 90" mais un 109" pickup -- Last edit: Mauresque |

110" and not 109"? Alexander? |

Are we sure it's a Defender and not a Series 3? I think it's a Series 3. |

I also think it is a Series 3. -- Last edit: 2006-01-09 21:49:27 |

Possible. Then it's probably a 109". |

It is definitely a 109" and as the upper door hinge is flat enough it is a Series III (1971-83). |

I would agree, except for a few things. First, the mirror appears to be mounted to the windscreen hinge, which is almost impossible with the Series 3 type hinge. Next, it has a Rover rear axle, which was fitted to the Series 2 and 2A models, the Series 3 having a Salisbury axle (based on a Dana axle if I remember correctly). Then there's the front fuel filler which was not used on the Series 3 after 1973. And finally, the rope ties on the rear corners are the 'spiky' type welded to the corner cappings which were changed during 2A production the late 60's (can't remember when exactly) to a loop riveted to the tub for safety reasons. What I think we have here is either an earlier model that has been fitted with later hinges, a locally assembled model built with a high locally manufactured content which would account for early features on a later vehicle, or a heavily used vehicle that has had lots of bits swapped over the years. I think this is probably a late 2A (1969-1971 due to the narrow sills) that has either later or locally produced hinges fitted, but I cannot be certain. |
