Yes the easyest way is the rear doors they are approx 3 to 4 inches less than the front doors,most series two where long wheel base,

Since I've never seen comparative pictures, I've never been sure as to how exactly you can see the difference between a Short Wheelbase and a Long Wheelbase, especially around Series 2 (seventies).
Here's what I've heard so far:
1) - the stretching is in the rear passenger doors, and you see the diff by "feeling" it.
2) - you can also see it around the lid for the pipe leading down to the petrol (gas) tank. I don't know the word for this, but hope you understand.

I don't really know if any of these claims are true. Is there a definite element that one can see easily?
