22900170H - The Last IIA
This vehicle has recently been purchased by a series 2 club member. It has been fitted with a Range Rover V8 engine and gearbox. It was originally painted white and probably had a truck cab, as we think it was used as a breakdown truck. The current owner is planning to restore it to its correct colour and refit the 1-ton gearbox and 6 cylinder IOE petrol engine.
Above - The stripdown begins.
Below - Rolling chassis.
Below, Original ENV Front axle, the rear is a Salisbury, with AEON spring assisters - Could the rear be a factory retrofit, or perhaps by 1971 it was a standard fit on IIA 109"s. Whats odd is Series III vehicles went back to a rear ENV axle...
