Points in favour of my claim: - series 2 hinges on the doors and windscreen. - the lack of the hole in the passenger's side wing, where a Series 3 heater would draw air from. - Deep sills. Sills changed from 3" to 2" approx mid 1969. Points against: - Series 3 plastic grill. - Registration letter year.
