without seeing the reg, it's hard to tell if it's a 2a or a 3. I think a 2a, as the bottom door hinge looks more like a blurred 2a hinge than a 3 blurred hinge...

I never seem to have a camera when I spot nice landies, must get a better camera phone!

I've got a 2a, it has a 3 grill (which is not on, but in the garage), and I want a 2a grill. The problem is, this has happened to a lot of 2as over the years as bits get replaced, and previous owners have tried to make it look newer, and so they are in short supply.

I'm going to stick with 2a on the hinges, look to stick out rather than be flat and wide. Hard to tell from the photo really.

the series 1 & 2 grills are fairly easy to make yourself mind.

It is a series 3, give away is that it is on a S plate if you look closly enough.

Spent the last week saying just up from Porthmadog and didn't see the series one, shame.

Of course you could spend 2 weeks enhancing the image to see the S  :lol:
