Based upon the license plate it is not a 1974. 1974 vehicles had a L or M suffix. What does it say on the V5 log book?

Is the vehicle in California now?

I have a 1971 Series IIa 109 that I imported from the UK.

I don't know if those are the original plates as I am the second owner Stateside. Yes, it is registered, titled, and insured in CA.

Both. Double roof with vents that open into the cab. One of those fantastic innovations that LR decided to loose when they built the Defender. If you see references to a 'tropical roof' that's what they mean.

cheers

Thank you

That's a pretty truck. My only advice is to get under it and have a really good look at the T-posts. They are real rust traps and badly exposed so if they are in good condition I would suggest throwing every rust preventing measure you can lay hands on at them. T-posts are expensive and shipping them really hurts right now.
