Or is that the "parked because my exhaust has snapped" look. Its very low level 

Yeah I noticed that too and my brother mentioned the exhaust had fallen off LOL

has a colourful MOT history too (or probably whats known as a normal MOT for an ADO16 LOL) first time I have seen an oil leak marked as dangerous I think

I hope its had some of the work done since that mot ?. 

Was it the most recent one or just the scariest.

Watching the US disintegrate on the news, in some eye-in-the-sky footage of a march(washington or perhaps NYC) there was a Volvo 245 being used to dole out water to the masses. Irritatingly I can't find the footage online to do a screen cap.

Had a bit of an OLLI-day yesterday. The SI is a Belgian Minerva I've seen at several local shows but can any Landie expert tell me if the other one is a SII or SIIA? 1961 was the changeover year but I don't know how to tell the difference - all I've found is a mention of 'some cosmetic differences' with nothing to explain what they are.

Plus some other assorted detritus from the same evening's ride. I think I've captured almost everything of interest in town now :(

Not an expert, but I do have a very good knowledge of Series Land Rovers.

Only differences as far as I know are the cab air vent control operating mechanisms and the Speedometer and Fuel/Amp Meter Instrument.

If you can get a photo of them I should be able identify ( with a caveat ) which model.
