Dunno about the door, maybe a reflection.
But I definitely agree about the screen though.

Spotted on the LR4X4 Forum.
The OP thinks it is a Series II / IIA, and I concur. To my eyes it's also a LHD 88" Station Wagon with a wire spoked steering wheel, and twin wiper motors!

It's the personalised design elements which make it worthy of mention - the electric winch, including the fairlead, the winch drum, and the recovery points.

The two pictures:

To add  to my earlier post (Reply #181), some more pictures have come to light.
There is a cover for the winch.


Showing the standard and auxiliary windscreen heater.


The LH external side view.


The OP on LR4X4 says he is not buying it, but "Feel free to sent me £ 3000 and I'll buy it on your behalf, store it for you here in order to collect it later this year. ".

'Here' is 'Hidden somewhere deep in the dark Auvergne....'.

Exceedingly rare - so rare I had to take a pic - to see one of these in south london. Nice that it's in truck cab/ open pick up configuration too.

I remember seeing a Land Rover in London on the one way system past Earl's Court to the Embankment. It was a 110 Station Wagon reg 0S 05 LOW parked in the drive of a house.

To make amends I have seen regularly a G suffix 2A SWB soft top parked on the side of the road in Monxton, a village a couple of miles south of Andover, Hampshire.

A Series 2A featured in an episode of Endeavour we watched this evening. MFV 264G is taxed until 1/10/22. Does it belong to a member. It's a very smart blue SWB hardtop with a front mounted electric winch.

I don't know how to put pictures on the forum as I'm mechanical and computer technology is way beyond my comprehension. I can email pictures from my phone but only one at a time.
It's no good explaining it as I won't understand. I'm blissful in computer ignorance.
