Very Nice! However, I believe that the grille and bulkhead are from a Series III.....

[kellgallaher]

I agree. It night even be one. I cant ever seem to get a solid answer on it.

What does the dash look like?

Im torn, rebuild the Perkins 2.25 or update. oy!

I agree w/ Ted...looks to be a III. Have you researched the SN?

To rebuild or upgrade...I supose that depends on the intended use and depth of your wallet. Personally I'm one for keeping things original & simple. Not really sure if I would want to do more than 50mph in one of these ole beasts!

While the "H" registration suggests its a 1968 it is a series 3 so it has to be newer than 1971 as 71 was the last year of the 2a's. There are so many things that say series 3.

[parrie]

Very possible that it could be both...stranger things have happened.

[Jim-ME]

The dash, windshield where it attaches to the bulkhead, the hinges and the grill all point towards a 3. The only way you will really know is to check the SN. It could very easily have be rebuilt using S3 bits though. Does it have a full syncromesh transmission?

Wow that was certainly a very quick frame swap, paint job and detail though! Looks good.

[kellgallaher]

No, only 3 and 4 are synched.
