Why do you say that? None of the photos shows the rear cross-member very well, but looking at this photo (below) the cross member has the correct narrow dimension front-to-back and seems to have the curves where the section changes in line with the chassis rails. It isn't easy to see, but looks completely original and correct for a '51 to me. It is certainly not a SII or later crossmember. On the whole that is one of the least messed-about and most desirable 80s I have seen for sale for a long time (and I can remember when the asking price would have been between £350 and £500 for one in that condition)!

Thank you Blackwolf. I was comparing the areas shown in the pics below. SI:
SII:
It could be an optical illusion however, and you may well be right. |

I'm sorry to hear that you've suffered not one but two strokes, sometimes there's just no good reason why. You could be as fit as a fiddle !
Good luck with the sale, I sold mine a couple of months ago between lockdowns and found the best response was on the land rover series one group on facebook. Mine was nothing like as original as yours but I was bombarded with offers from both the UK and abroad , it sold in 48 hours to a chap that lived 250 miles away. No questions, no quibbles ! https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

Sorry to hear about your health problems, however take heart in the fact that a good friend of mine had a stroke at 50, several years ago and is now fighting fit again, it took a year to get back to something like his old self but he’s AOK now.
A lovely original 80in, very much like one I have. GLWTS. |
