It looks like something someone has cobbled together from an old Landie.

Thanx to Hiline for connecting this pic to the right topic.


This car is not fitted together for other Landys.

It should be a serial car.




I need the exact model name, the year and the number of produced cars... :?



Can you help me?




It´s kind of a bet...

The semifloating axle says Series One, the flat floor, bulkhead sidelights and grille say 80 inch but the wheelbase looks 86 or 88. The tray never came out of Solihull, and the mudguards look like S2a lightweight. The lack of space between the windscreen and bonnet is like no Series Landrover ever built, and may be to accommodate a non standard engine, or just to lower overall height.

Best guess it is a composite made up out of available bits, and is the only one like it ever made.

The widscreen looks as if it could have come off a willys.

The origins are a seris 2 lightwieght. With all the doors of and the rear top caping taking of. Which is what they were designes to do for loading on top of each other.

Could be one of the 49 pre-production Land Rovers made before Series 1. Were based on Jeep.

From military vehicle circles I think this is one of hte landies that i've heard about.

From memory it's a series one which has been modified to look like it served in the army at that time (a fake), which i've heard touted as a geniune, ex army vehicle. I've heard the same of a bloke with a 40 series as well who built it from scratch, and claims it has geniune service.

That said, looking underneath at the front of that vehicle it looks suspiciously like a willys jeep underneath.

[edit] Actually after having a closer look at the front suspension hangers, the tray and most importaintly, the windscreen and windscreen wipers, it's a willys jeep with a LR nose pluged onto it, so it's even a fake land rover, with even more of a fake history.

I had that thought as well but then I thought the rear hubs were wrong for a Jeep. I'm fairly sure they were fully floating - the Series 1 LR wasn't. The wheels and hubs look Landie. Also the windscreen is wrong for a Jeep - especially as the Jeep had a very deep panel below the screen and a totally different hinge system.

Tell me - is that an historic vehicle registration plate? If so, and it is not the genuine article, then that plate is quite possibly illegal.

The windscreen got me, as it looked like a jeep one (as does the windscreen wiper), but I forgot about the gap.

Also the gap from windscreen to the top of the bonet is wrong, as is the gap from the bonnet to the wings. Another thing that threw me was the bulkhead that slopes the weong way in the passenger footwell.

You're right about the axles though, the rear ones are LR, I'm just not as versed in the series one as I thought I was :oops:

You've got a point about the plates though.

It looks like a....






























Yeah, i got nothin. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

It looks interesting it looks like some kind of lightweight series I, maybe an email to LROI would return some results. Matt

[101RRS]

The windscreen and lack of vents and space between the screen and the bonnet looks early prototype series 1 - about 47/48 when the drivers seat moved from the centre of the car to the right. The series 1 windscreen vents appeared in the protoypes a little later.
