If I get the chassis number (hidden under the Weber’s) can we find out any more about the car?

Can you ID an LJ from chassis number only? No tags

Looking at an LJ 2 door, appears to have original fluted front guards, original spot welds etc. isn’t showing signs of an XU1 leaning towards GTR, found some old paint under the current red which looks light blue, maybe zodiac blue.

Unless its a known car... or has something to help identify it... the usual stuff... throttle brackets , spare wheel mounts
But most likely not
Unless your lucky and the original engine is still in it and the number can tell a story

Ok, so the chassis number isn’t recorded on the microfiche? Or is it just a slow process to find it by the chassis number?

Flutes are factory and guards have never been off

That's correct - no chassis number recorded on the VIN disc. If the car has the original engine number, there is a possibility that identification can be made that way.
