[bv73]

Hello ,New to series one and have dived head first and got a couple . I'm just wondering what I have got into??? 3 series 1's one has a plate with 177600412 the other has a plate with 2660093 and the third is missing the plate and I didn't want to get under the 80 but i got an engine number 3611334. Can you identify a series one from it's original motor?
Thanks Des

It isnt infallible but its good!

177600412
1 Type: Land Rover
7 Model: Land Rover Series I
7 Destination: Right-hand drive (RHD), completely knocked down (CKD)
6 Service period: Late 1955 for service
00412 Serial number



2660093 (not enough numbers...)
assuming you missed a zero- it becomes..

26600093
2 Model year: 1952
6 Model: Land Rover, Series I, 80in, petrol
6 Body type: Completely knocked down (CKD)
0 Destination: Right-hand drive (RHD), home market
0093 Serial number


the engine number is different again, and often changed in and out of vehicles over the years...

3611334 engine number.. I am just guessing but believe that kind of number puts it into series 3 territory? still 2.25 I think...





the green 80" pictured in 1st photos has the 7" headlamps through the grille design. This commenced in the late 1950 model (at #06111547) and continued until the very last 1951 vehicles.
BUT these are easily swapped from 80" to 80" --
Early s1 had h/l behind grille hanging down from top of radiator support panel.. and sidelights (parkers) in firewall top corners


the dash you pictured is from a @'54 onwards.

people who know much better than I will come along and correct me, but I hope that helps for now ---none of it is reliable (its from my head and the engine number is a guess..)

Thank you guys , I have a lot to research and learn!! Looking for manuals/ reference books asap and looking to join a club (Sunshine coast Qld ).

Russell I will call (again) when I bring the first one home .

The two outside were saved from a wrecking yard and the previous owner grabbed them and a whole carport full of series 1 parts with some series 2 and 3 as well,like I said lots of studying trying to figure out what is what.


The cream one in the carport is had a rebuilt motor but has a fuel problem ,so I will start on that one first.

These door handles had me puzzled for a couple of hours but I did see other pics with others fitted .

I don't think that engine number belongs to the engine in the picture. 151....... is a Series 2 2286cc number (second picture in your first post).

[slug_burner]

First post second picture is a series 2 engine, third pic is a series one.

The first pics the closest to camera is an 80", as for the rest I can't tell, don't know enough.

One of them is home , got a few parts to sort out seemed that the previous owner had a mate with a wrecking yard and when it closed down all series one stuff was saved . Tub full of goodies but all I was hoping for was front fenders as those extra lights are hideous!!

Des,

Hello from Brisbane and welcome to serious Series ownership.

As Carolyn has suggested in an earlier post SLOW (Series Landy Owners Club) is a serious proposition if you are looking for a club comprised of like-minded individuals. You can find our site a little further down the list (after the Gold Coast club site).

To be fair to the other clubs there is also a Sunshine Coast owners club with a wider range of vehicles of interest.

Manuals can be sourced from internet bookshops such as Book Depository and also eBay but also on CDs through this AULRO site.

Cheers,

Neil

looks like pork pie lights on the one you brought home too!

If they are hold on to them tight they are worth a quid!
(or sell them to me for $20!!)

I think you seem to have a good stash here!

[bv73]

I had a Victorian mate send a text "Seen this & bought it can you pick it up ???It's yours now LOL ...Isn't it what you wanted??? good luck see ya Easter "

Now let me just say my unimpressed misses is waiting for my mate to arrive at Easter as well.....

[Brisruss]

I think we can all relate to that.

I have been told I am not allowed to get another one till I finish the 2A I already have. No where to put it unless I find a cheap shed somewhere.

Russ

Bit hard to tell, there are some minor changes between these years. Chassis number will tell though. You do know the Land Rover goes from September to August? My '51 80" was sold to a Tamworth person on 8/12/1950.

welcome to R06100886 ,my mate bought well.rusty and missing engine/box but never thought I would get an early

I wouldn't get too sad about the extra headlights, period modifications are quite common and accepted, unless you want to build a concours car.
