This list of ads was a bit of a case of if you want something done, then you need to do it yourself. The 1948 steering wheel had been promised to someone else and there were other bits as well that weren't supposed to be listed.

I am sure that we will see some of the ads pulled before the auctions end.

However I would have loved to see the welder restored by the vendor, he did such excellent work on his 1950 and S2 ute they are far better now than they were when they came off the production line.

Hi there

The old S1 gear is becoming quite a collectable.

I suspect the welder will also go for big dollars - I also hoping stayes in Oz.

Can't believe the prices some of this stuff goes for on ebay

Pork Pie lights above went at $382 & $370 per set :eek:
Steering wheel $256 :eek:
Numpty

I paid about $400 to have my steering wheel and centre repaired by Pearlcraft and that didn't include fixing the elecrtical bit on the horn button.

I know Chazza (like many of us) has a wheel that is only a bare metal ring. Some time ago we were discussing making up a replacement rim by using split poly pipe as a mould and filling it with a polyurothane resin then shaping and polishing the result. This all takes time and I am sure that with only a few months left before Cooma $256 would be a bargain for some people.

With the welder - it sure looks to be the genuine thing even with the wrong windscreen, but the limiting factor will be that the vendor is not interested in dispatching it overseas. That should limit the oportunities for it to migrate.

At least I won the spare lenses for my 1967 at a reasonable price.

Hi there

Its is amazing the price some of this gear is achieving.

For some time now I have never locked my shed when away on shift up north - this has now changed.

Well all the best

Wayne

PS even the S1 rear PTO unit currently $510.00 (with 4 days to go) but if you read the fine print $250 for freight costs makes it quite expensive.

I think their claim that it is completely restored is a bit over the top - more like a tidy up. Likewise I think the price is a bit steep.

But then again - there is a buyer somewhere for every car.

I would agree Garry. A very steep starting bid for what appears to be a 'tidy - up' as you have said.

Another nice little S1 for sale

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2007/11/383.jpg

Is anyone concerned that this fully restored S1 hasn't been painted and has a few bits missing.

The thing I love the most is that the removable hard top has removable glass in the windows. Or at least the glass has been removed.

The seat back supports look to be S1 from 50 through 58 excluding the 1952 and 1953 models (with the square seat backs)

The 2 top outer brackets likewise appear to be the ones off narrow transom 1950 through 1951 seat backs and match the supports (not going to look in the book for the proper name today).

The wing nut windscreen brackets seem to be the ones off a 1954 through 1958.

The four brackets at the bottom I have no idea about.

Would like them but can't do the pick up, anyone more local interested especially at the price?
You note that the rear door seals are not included?

If you buy them I'm sure they can be picked up and eventually into the AULRO Courier Service.

A few more bits

Some of this stuff is pretty exxy... the fellow selling is using Cooma as the selling point it seems :mad:

NM Expensive is relevant, A friend in SE Qld has just returned from a trip to the UK and suggests that Dunsfold's are doing a restoration on an 80" using new parts and the quoted price is over 30,000 GB Pounds.

I have never seen any other NOS 80" door tops in Australia. So how much would it cost to repair or make replacements, $400 each?? I don't know. With my budget at the moment I am thinking that my 80" will be at Cooma sans door tops.

Note he also says...hoop set available at extra cost to the winning bidder. I wonder how much extra? I have asked the question....
Last time he sold a S1 Governor he suggested he also had the brackets, which you could buy At the same price as the final winning bid!

Hi there Diana

I think that it has more to do with the fact that they needed maintenance and if you weren't using the PTO then they got removed and thrown. The vehicles survived as did the PTO which was big so it didn't get lost.

My concern about some eBay traders is that they are always looking for the next scam. Like a governor, how can you use it without the brackets and what are you going to do with the brackets after you have sold the governor. The only reason you would split and sell at the final price is to scam both the final bidder and ebay.

OK...multiple items for sale by one bloke looks like he has/is wrecking an 86 & 88 inch S1

Bits incl bonnets, chassis, diffs, gearbox, axles and a few body panels etc

eBay Seller: davedarcy77: Car Parts, Cars, Bikes, Boats items on eBay Australia (http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZdavedarcy77)

Dave Darcey (the seller) is the guy I bought my "Baby" from. He is a really nice guy who has/had a few 86/88s. When I bought my car he still had an 86 that was in bits. He is moving over to lwb series 1s and has bought up most that were available in the Goulburn area.

I take it that he is selling off the remaining 86/88 bits. (I have the tub and the hard top but most of the rest was there the last time I checked)

Maybe Diana but I think its the same seller.

The 60th is not widely promoted so unless you move in LR circles
NM

Yes, the vendor is the same person, you often see him selling automotive books/manuals and quite frequently Land Rover, Jeep and other automotive bits. Lots of the LR stuff seems to be new old stock.

During the 50th I was fully involved with my career and study for a higher degree so I missed any promotion for the event. What a nice break, Easter at Cooma would have been. If I have something to do with it no Land Rover owner on the South Coast around Nowra or at my hospitals campus will be unaware of the event. (I have a box of fliers on my back seat.) I guess ebay is another way of promoting it.

Very unlikely to be ex-mil as staed

It might be ex-mil but I agree most unlikely to be ex Aust Mil.

The obvious clues that it is not ex mil are - no nato plug at the rear, it has civy headlights not mil headlights and not the usual range of old brackets and bits on the front guards and in the tray.

These pics are of a genuine ex mil series 1 88

Hi guys just came across this on ebay maybe worth a look was on a few weeks back for $1500 cheers brendon.
I've seen that vehicle running when it was at Horsham. The PO was a serious LR collector and is kids learn't to drive around the paddocks in it.

The LR engine accompanying the deal isn't a match for the vehicle however, as it is a spread bore 2 litre from 1955 or later.

I bought a rear tub off this bloke some time ago which i am very happy with. He is genuine enough and runs a military 2A as his daily driver. I was eyeing off the two 107's when i bought the tub but he was adamant he didnt want to sell as he was rebuilding. If i had the cash i would jump at this. He is out near Jimboomba.
If some one does buy them i would be happy to take the donor vehicle off your hands :p:p:p

PPS The brake M/cyl is a useless piece of kit unless you are handy at remaking brake pipes as it has 2 x 7/16" UNF threads completely different to a Series 2/2A, they are 7/16" UNF supply line from res.. and 3/8"UNF to wheel cyl's, another trap for the unwary:(:(

It gets worse, the vendor recently sold an item off his website to a fellow in Queensland, unfortunately the vendor didn't actually own one of the items that he had just sold and collected the money for. The vendor then went and purchased one of the items off a person in Queensland (and last time I heard hadn't yet paid for it.) The vendor in Queensland turns out to be a friend of the buyer in Queensland and the transaction could have been done much cheaper.

Although joking aside, it still has exactly the engine it was delivered with (5 Feb 1951). I wonder if it still has the PTO? Unless it was changed it will be a yellow button freewheel transfer box and does look quite straight, so may be worth the dollars???

Isn't it a great find???? :) :) :)

The vendor has known about it for 15 years and just after acquiring it decided to buy a 130. Unfortunately his wife suggested it's either not both.

So out goes the 80", a bit sad really. :(

We checked the Grenville Motors books and the numbers are correct and original. What a great project for someone who wants one of the first 3000 vehicles and not one of the tens of thousands that came in the years after 1949. Just the horn button has to be worth a few hundred, and still having those oh so rare Grenville badges on the front LHS makes it even better.

For the life of me , I cannot work out how 2 dollars worth of bakelite can sell for hundreds of dollars....why can't somebody make up a die and produce a run of a few thousand . MG and other cars have a active repro industry. Why not series 1's?

I was surprised it didn't go to the UK .. or did it ? It was a fair deal .. if I had the money I would have paid that . His other 'everyday driver' was also, apparently a good buy . These days, 4k doesn't go far when your restoring a car- it did need some work .. but not a full re-build . Although it is hard to tell without seeing it .. the motor could have been tired - 20 year old reco job. I would prefer a wide front spring job ( which i dont have ) for an everyday driver .. more stability and less of the wandering around the lane syndrome. I've been at high speed in both narrow and wide front spring 80" ... and the difference is there to notice .

There's an unregistered, but cute and clean looking, 1955 Series 1 86'' 2lt straight diesel on eBay:
LANDROVER SERIES 1 - eBay, Restoration, Salvage, Cars, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 03-Mar-09 18:51:22 AEDST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280315427236)

Bidding starts at $3,500, with a $4,800 buy it now.

Is it a 55 86"? - it has a 88" front radiator panel and I cannot tell if it has the extra length in the front guards that an 88 has. Plus - I thought that was the reason that the series 1 went to 88" - so that the diesel could go in - in short I didn't think there were 86" diesels.

23rd February 2009, 12:32 PM
Going by the pics it looks like it has 2A diffs fitted as the wheels look to be sitting out futher then they normaly do with series 1 diffs. It looks to be an 86" as I can see the wing steady arm bolt close to the wheel arch & not futher back like on the 88", also looks like the door tops were from a 107" or 109" going by the grey paint on the inside too.

dandlandyman
23rd February 2009, 02:49 PM
The engine appears to be out of a later 2a or 3 - it has the later shallow thermostat casting in the head - and it has a radiator from a Series 2-2a - the Series 1 unit's core doesn't fill the whole rad panel area. Also, it doesn't have a hand throttle, which (if I recall correctly) was standard on all diesels.

I am just wondering if the following find is a real badge, or just a reproduction. I've never seen metal ones, just aluminium ones. Anyone knows if the first series ones featured metal badges?

Item number: 170329511861
This is an original LAND ROVER solid heavy metal name badge which I believe was originally fitted to series one models. It is tarnished / aged otherwise it is in excellent condition. It measures approx 5 1/2 inches by 2 inches.

Can't say whether it's a repro or not but the early ones looked like that.

"Looked like" is one thing, any repro can look like it. Maybe even look better. The thing is... metal and steel was not cheap and not readily available at the time due to the war consumption previously. Government put on metal and steel restrictions but aluminium was available in abundance due to the diminished use of it in the airplane industry. Why would Land Rover build with aluminium but have the first badges in "heavy metal", while later it did use aluminium for its badges. It could be possible and I am just wondering...???

Anyone?

Close up of Huey

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/05/712.jpg

If you google around you'll see plenty of early 80's with this type. They appear on ebay from time to time and sell for $50 to $100 usually.
As it is a simple design it would be easy enough to copy it - so therefore from a simple picture you can't definitively say - the design however is accurate.
I've got a feeling they were brass.
Don't forget there was plenty of steel - even in the early ones.
(Chassis, Firewall, Engine, Transmission etc.)
The aluminimum badges like:

Maybe these are other ones? These are the boddies only and there are bids on them now (GBP 51.00 (approximately AU $102.88)) so they are selling.

Much less than the complete set fo two (starting AUD 600) on the other listing previously which didn't go. But since this is only boddies I find it still a lot.

It's a Series 1 109" _ can't quite read the serial number - 1957/8?. Yes, looks like the early grille (Might be a homemade version?) - wonder what spares in the back.
With no rust it might be a good start.

Ideally the front X member has just had a section cut out of it which can easily be brought back to original - and maybe some modification to the radiator panel - nothing too hard - as evidenced by moving the lights to the guards.

If the front X member has been moved forward (doesn't look like it) then it will need to be moved back.

But then - the holden can be left in it and I would just be looking at moving the lights back to the radiator panel.

30 years ago I converted an 86 to a holden and had to move the lights to the guards and fabricate a new radiator panel.

This is certainly worth $500 maybe more - but then I feel most series 1s are undervalued.

I love my S1 88" but so many people think I'm nuts. :o... they are right! :D

Serious collectors in Europe will pay up to 40000 Euro for a good original state S1. (That's why I moved here... :cool:)

and shows it with a Lucas 518 pork pie body so you can see you are wrong in the statement above.

1. I am not the seller, but I know who it is. He is a member of a number of Rover and Land Rover clubs in Australia and the UK, including the 48-53 Register and the Series One Club. By the way, he is also a member of this forum.

2. When you know as much as he does you and others can then comment on what he sells.

3. He has restored some magnificent vehicles over many years, some Land Rovers even fitted with real, original, new old stock “pork pie lights”.

4. He has the lights.

5. I have not seen a 518 with a glass lens! I would like to see one as they had a red plastic rear lens (some with integral reflectors and some without) and clear plastic number plate lens. Over the years I have had a number - all gone.

The Lucas 518 (#53393F and #543405D) is a very complex lamp with its bayonet type construction (Backplate #526371, Rubber seating #526530, Friction Plate #526458, Retaining Plate #526555 and two different Bodies (#526536 – with and without number plate illumination window #526537) and the red rear plastic lens held in position by a swage so it is not (easily) replaceable. The 518 was only used on a limited number of vehicles and two different bodies would have to be made. This is the main reason it has not been reproduced previously. The back plate and mounts have been reproduced but the bodies available are apparently new old stock and will run out eventually. There is still a limited market. That is why they are so expensive.
Poke around at Swap Meets and you might be lucky to find one or two being sold by someone who does not know their worth, but this is getting more unlikely.

The 518 was replaced by the much more economically manufactured plastic lens Della Beacon and many were also replaced in service with the Lucas 533 (#53304A), later superseded by the Lucas ST38.
There were many cheaper copies of the 533 with glass and plastic lenses, commonly seen on trailers and also used as replacements on Land Rovers.

6. The term “pork pie” light was and still is applied to the ST38, not only to the Lucas 518.
To see these referred to as “pork pie”:
Lucas ST38 - Reproduction black/chrome Lucas ST38 ‘Pork-Pie’ light (http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/377)
Lucas ST38 - Stafford Vehicle Components - ST38 (Pork Pie) LIGHTS (http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/prod/ST38_porkpie.html) and Stafford Vehicle Components - ST38 (Pork Pie) LIGHTS (http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/prod/ST38.html)

“Budget” restorers don’t and either cannot or will not pay what they are generally sold for – witness the ongoing thread on making pork pie lights:
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/series-i-land-rover-enthusiasts-section/76683-pork-pie-could-we-produce-some-reasonable-replicas.html
and prices:
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/series-i-land-rover-enthusiasts-section/67359-pork-pie-prices.html


There is nothing wrong with that and please do not take me wrongly in what I am saying – I too like to acquire parts as economically as possible.
Refrain from commenting on what a seller may have for sale, whether he’s “dreamin” as many of you like to comment or whether he has in your view unreal expectations. It may not sell, then again it may to your amazement. Many very valuable contributors to this forum sell on eBay and elsewhere and read some of the rubbish written here...

I believe that this forum needs a rule that it should be “off-limits” to make comments about what sellers advertise their parts or vehicles for. You don’t comment about items in the markets section of the forum and don’t about anyone else’s vehicle. So why eBay? Carpoint? Trading Post? This rule applies on other forums so it’s about time it did here also – and that goes for Moderators too.
Link to items but be cautious in your comments.

Thanks for the clarification, Bob. But the add has changed - you say relisted.

The original add listed picture didn't look as it does now - it looked like a later lens as per Series 2's on. So it wasn't unreasonable for posters here to discuss it's origins.

That's what people do on Land Rover forums. :D

That's a very informative post Bob, thanks. I appreciate the insight and I love learning about my Series 1 land rover from those with more knowledge than me.

As you've perhaps noticed I'd love to get hold of some pork pies (generic term for L518's) for my 107". I cant afford the AU$500+ just yet.

I have only owned my Series 1 for 1 year and know <1% of what there is to know.

I think you're being a little precious though. It is just the internet. I think we acknowledge that many of us are "wanna bees" and we love learning and participating - even if we make the wrong "call". ( I am still deciding what is the visible difference between a siamese bore and an spread bore ;))

What Hebe said may not have been correct but I don't think we need to censer him - like with most threads on aulro.com - we debate the issue. The "truth" is always only a post away.

Because of the comments made here previosly it was "clarified" in the relisting.

I appreciate you comments but the problem is that the internet rarely just fades away like a conversation, or talk at a meeting or a news item in a throw-away newspaper.
It seems it is there forever and once an ill guarded or hasty comment is made it is very difficult to undo. Even if a site disappears there are archives.

I was not specifically censuring Hebe - just pointing out he was wrong. My post was more to get some discussion on what we would think if our pride and joy was picked apart by people who probably did not know the vehicle or its worth. What got me annoyed once before was the comments about the Series 3 Station Wagon that I believe sold for very significantly less that what it should have achieved. Then again, it was just the wrong week for its sale.

Hope you find some "pork pies" for your restoration.

I'll 2nd the group hug, :) . But let me give Hebe a break - It was me that actually first asked the question regarding the item as being a "pork pie". I was actually asking a genuine question. This was more a case of a S1 "know nothing" (me) stuffing up! :(

No harm was intended. :angel:

Oops....

Didn't want to upset anyone. :o Anyway, we should be allowed to discuss if a claim is valid or not. If someone says this is original we should be able to be sceptical and give our opinions. Especially if this is with respect to a sale where a potential buyer may, or may not, be duped.

I certainly do not have the credentials to call myself an expert. But I do have some knowledge and my opinion. And I may be wrong, may not...

I checked on the eBay listing I referred to (had a look at the actual items in person) and indeed those are plastic lenses. In my eager to confirm what were clearly not original lenses I confirmed the other poster saying that yes originals had glass. Which I have to correct now.... no, not.... as someone else said, never seen them in glass. :angel: And unfortunately I haven't seen that many. :( So, I stand corrected and apologize. :oops2:Still.....

In this case the seller, who is probably a great person, did adjust the listing. And appearantly due to this forum... which is great to see. It shows the sellers honesty and shows that this forum has a positive influence.

:banban:
Everyone should be allowed to question.... in any forum about anything. It is then up to answers and responses to get many replies which clarify and give an outcome which reflects the truth as close as possible. Forum: "public meeting or assembly for open discussion". The word being Open... Open to all opinions and thoughts, of course there is still a need for respectful language and expression of opinions.
:nazibanned:

in short....
Sorry, I was (partially) wrong!


(p.s. Pork Pie is the non-scientific name used for the shape. There are many products out there called a pork pie. From hats, different types of lights, drums, etc. It comes from the shape of a pork pie (which aparently you can actually eat), which I have to admit to never have seen one in real life..... have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_pie)

16th November 2009, 10:28 AM
Hebe,

I was just pointing out your error about the lights and explaining in detail the different "pork pie" types as clearly as I could.

The purpose of my post was more intended to start a discussion about notification of items of interest to the forum members being exactly that - as the notifications are lost in the discussion and the intent of having the "eBay finds" threads is defeated.

As this is not the only thread where where there are these type of notifications of items for sale on the forum and where such a policy should be considered I believe it is worth discussing.

Maybe it should be discussed in a completely new "sticky" thread for a time somewhere (so it would not run on in this thread - what I am really on about;)), a policy developed by the Moderators and Administrators and then adhered to as a forum rule. It works elsewhere.

And yes, it becomes a form of censorship just as the forum would be unworkable without rules and if necessary censorship in other areas.

Hebe
13th December 2009, 08:57 AM
I read German... There is a note though in English.

It is a German for sale website.. I don't see a bidding option. So I guess 15.000 Euro is the "it is yours" sales price.

Although the website is in German the car is currently in Mallorca, Spain. Probably found on a farm there somewhere by someone who knows how rare Tickfords are. I used to drive around there and found a few roadside used Land Rover establishments. Just old Land Rovers waisting away by the roadside...:( Mostly series IIs and IIIs though.

The ad goes on to say that he/she can deliver in Europe and speaks English, German, Dutch and Spanish. From the language combination I am guessing he/she is Dutch, like me, and living in Spain...

Probably can put it on the boat to Australia for another 1000-1500 AUD. 15.000 EUR is a little steep I think for the condition it looks in. What is up with the rear?

I remember Dunsfold wanting to sell theirs for something similar and I am not sure but I think theys still got it, and that one was restored. I have heard one being on sale/sold at Christies and that the largest order for Tickfords went to the UN in Poland. So the place to search is maybe Poland and Russia (Russians emptying Poland in their time).

I guess the difference is that we/you are buying new or NOS parts from where ever they are found and I don't feel anyone objects to that.

The other side of the issue, and I am somewhat conflicted myself, is the removal of items like firewalls that are not reproduced here and taking the assembly, complete with the vehicle ID plates back to places like the UK leaving the remains here. The cost to us here, merely for the shipping of a reproduction firewall, is often more than a new firewall costs to UK residents.

On 80" and early 86"/107" vehicles the switch on the steering wheel is the high/low headlight dip switch. Later the dip switch was located on the floor.

On 80" the trafficator switch is fitted firstly offset near the windscreen wiper depending on whether it is RHD or LHD then in late 1949 universally in the centre of the windscreen. Trafficator blocks are only fitted as standard to 80" vehicles from about 1948 Vehicle No 860750. They allow the trafficator to be mounted vertically.

Later Series 1s have either a bracket bolted to the side of the steering column or on a panel beside the instrument panel for the trafficator switch. They also have a bent sheet metal bracket for the trafficators.

None of them are cheap! As Mick has said eBay is your friend. Blinkers are more recognisable to other road users and less likely to get damaged or stolen.

thanks but I have on full "box" set of trafficators (100's I think) and a pair of I think old ford trafficators (no box- TEX brand) so Id like to put them on screen of "juan" (and may also fit some sort of rear indicator at least)

the se100's are 12v so OK, the TEX's are 6v so more hassle!


I was looking for something to do blinkers etc with as the horn arm is where the magnatex would normally go, my father says that he recalls just a plain 3 way toggle switch on the horn arm was apparently common.

I have seen that with the three way switch mounted on an angle off the end of the horn bracket and also the horn bracket flipped to the other side of the column so that the magnatex or other cancelling blinker switches were fitted on the opposite side.

Some other vehicles had trafficator switches on the steering wheel. This requires a hollow steering column (as fitted to 80" and early 86"/107") so the wires can go through the turning wheel. Some off-steering wheel car trafficator switches are also self-cancelling by timer or vacuum.

A fairly simple angle bracket made so that the SE100 trafficator is vertical can be mounted to the side of the Land Rover windscreen. You don't need the blocks - they were for the SE62 trafficators on 80" windscreens, although I have see some SE100s with adapted brackets fitted.

This is a hard one as there is nothing in chassis numbers that identify station wagons.

Most of the issues I noticed have already been picked up. Main issue is body colour - most unlikely to be bronze green but I have seen a restored 86 inn Vic that is this colour. I could accept grey or at a pinch teal blue.

Has a station wagon badge on the front - top seems the real thing but I cannot gauge the back door - yes the rear chains should not be there. There is no indication that the indicator switch panel has ever been there. Rear seats are not there but after 50 years these could have been changed.

In an other tread we have been discussing hardtop colour - have come to the conclusion it should be the same colour as the body and only the tropical should be white - however having said that my hardtop is white all over.

There are no pics of the the cab trim which would gave given the real clues.

I have asked the seller to provide more pics.

On balance - I do not think it is a genuine station wagon - but you never know - it also has floating rear axles.

There are certainly many points which make this wagon hard to clarify as the real thing.

Obviously the roof looks genuine as does the rear tailgate upper and lower. The galvanised brackets on the rear of the tub for mounting the door also appear correct. However,

On a close up of the rear of the tub where half of the badge is visable there are no holes below for the wagon badge.

As noted before it has spare mount in tub, the bracket for this and the tabs for the tailgate locking pins were still included on wagons so perhaps the chains and spare holder itself are later additions.

The side facing rear seats are incorrect and in the close up the holes for the bracket which holds the two seats are not there.

The interior of the tub looks like the original green.

All of these suggest the tub is not station wagon.

Furthermore, many of the other interior panels such as the seatbox, transmission tunnel, bulkhead and passenger side door top appear to all be in their original bronze green.

The blue door cards and blue seats would perhaps suggest wagon rather than ute as grey was much more common on the utes deluxe trim in my understaning.

The drivers side door top (grey) is of the later type with the thin channel underneath the window whilst the passenger side is of the thicker, earlier type. Perhaps this door could be classed as being from the wagon as it's trim seems to cover both door top and bottom unlike passenger side.

Just my thoughts, hope i havent offended anyone with my ramblings, certainly an interesting vehicle, would be great to view in person or to see more pics as these are only guesses.

Cheers.

Your thoughts line up with most others who have commented.

However the rear of my SW does not have the rear SW plaque OR THE HOLES for it. The more I am researching swb station wagons the more I am coming to the opinion that ours were a little different to the UK versions. Eg I have a white hardtop not a body coloured one, the lack or the rear station wagon badge, twin wipers as standard - optional in the UK, optional heaters in Aust - mine has never had a heater in it.

Why oh why didn't landrover keep track of chassis numbers that were being allocated as station wagons - would be a lot easier to verify vehicles

These are a high wear item on series 1 motors . And cost a small fortune to get reconditioned- refaced. These are about half price compared to the other UK vendors
