Finally have in my possession some relics from the past and was wondering if someone might be able to give me a bit more info about them.


Station Wagon (Series 2 I think)
Body Number LRL 51
Serial Number SW 51
Car Number 163000033



Series 2 Details (could be 2a)
Body N LR10231
Serial 10910231
Vehicle N 25309274B
Holden Motor (202 I think)
Cab Chassis with tray




Series 2a
No id on firewall
Engine number 25325142K
Chassis 2532760

Was a utility but had a tray fitted recently


Chassis on both not good, The wagon i have in Perth has good chassis with Holden 186, is it very easy to convert back to fit the Land Rover motor as i think i want to restore back to original spec.
I know it's going to prob be the 10 year plan and my boy is only 6, so something to do together. I have a lot of negative people commenting on the dream as i am on disability pension with a stuffed back,have had a fusion and artificial disc replacement surgeries and live on a cocktail of drugs. I look at it as something to look to take my mind off my pain and the wife don't mind, she is quite capable in using a spanner or 2.
If anybody has any suggestions, i would love to hear them,also links to useful links on here and elsewhere.
I have posted some pics in the Gallery and will try to attach here.
Thanks Konrad

The third one appears to be an incomplete chassis number - it should have another digit and a letter suffix, although the 253 indicates an export CKD 2.25 petrol model.

......and it also has an Australian 6 cylinder grille on it :)

Is that the one that looks like the grill tray from a cooker? Horizontal chromed bars with no verticals? I've got one just like it and I often wondered whether it was original or somebody had made it as a one-off....
