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

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.
