Our local expert pointed out that this cannot be an R-6 since the R-6 was the first Landy on which the grille was moved forward (like on the later Defenders) to accommodate the longer straight six engine. This is probably then a good old two-and-a-quarter. Sorry

In the UK and Europe the only 6 cylinder E series we got was the 2.2 fitted to the Landcrab and Wedge Princess.
