I think his price is high but if anyone in the vicinity is interested could be a good project.
I personally do not know the owner just posting in case anyone on the look out to buy one.

Had a quick look at the photos and regarding the Date of first registration being January 1975 long time after the Year of manufacture   1968 - As the rear Cross Member is straight - it looks like the Land Rover was originally in the Services / Military.

If the Land Rover was originally in the Services / Military in 1968 I thought that in the 60's all Services / Military Land Rover were Petrol.   So may be the 2 1/4 Diesel engine is a replacement?

One of our members owns a 1966 truck that's 2 away from this reg. Also registered in 1975. I wonder what the chassis number is.

If it was built in 1968 it would have headlights in the middle, so either the front end is a replacement or it was built post March/April 1969.

The bonnet catches and rear crossmember do suggest ex-Military.
