Another series 1 project

[Lost Landy]

I just won this little 1955 86" and cant wait to pick it up on the weekend.
It has a holden six in it and the Landy looks to be in quite good cond.
Though i wont be doing the usuall bring it back to original cond resto.
Iam going to bin the holden 6 and drop in a 3.5 rover V8 :D

Heres the auction Land Rover Series 1_1955 (eBay item 170559948596 end time 07-Nov-10 16:02:39 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170559948596&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT)

I got all excited when I saw that on ebay as I thought it was my old series 1 that I owned from 78 to 85.

I had mine painted yellow,put a series 3 grill on and moved the lights to the guards when the holden went in - and crucially put in a fuel filler just behind drivers door.

Here was a pic of mine

Looking at yours more closely though I decided that despite the similarities that it was not my vehicle. The series 3 lights were not in mine and I had modifed the dash.

If you find the front crossmember has been removed and replaced with a huge piece of angle iron and the radiator panel was home made. If you find these I will get quite excited.
