    Did you get your "chassis number" off of the chassis?
    I'm pretty sure that your registration plate is swapped.
    The number you listed: 24427287c... should be for an 88" not a 109"
    (which I believe had a prefix of 254 or 264 depending on spec.)

    Look for the actual VIN stamped on the chassis... Just over the righthand (outside-front) spring hanger.
    (note: These are sometimes hard to read... they aren't stamped deeply and are often covered by paint/undercoating/etc.)

    According to CalVIN... your plate number is for...
    244 Model: Land Rover, Series IIA
    Body type: Basic or Station wagon
    Wheel base: 88in
    Engine: petrol
    Model years: 1962-1971
    Destination: Export, left-hand drive (LHD)
    27287 Serial number
    C Design: Two significant design modifications
    Suffix used from April 1966 till April 1967

    Someone else has stepped up, I think, but I is was going to give 5500. It needs brakes, carb, tune up just to be driven. I thought that was a little high or something that couldn't be driven. Im pretty impatient though, and can handle all that stuff on my own, so I was willing to take a chance. If this seems like it could be a good price for something I can only drive around in low range (recause of the brakes), please chime in. I might still have a chance. Thanks again

    Forget all the rest, look at the chassis and bulkhead. If these need extensive repair or replacement you're underwater before you start.
