SMA053's Original Post Location (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/series-i-land-rover-enthusiasts-section/46802-trans-tasman-series-1-forum.html#post756699)Hi Everyone, jst want to say hello to all the series 1 people. Just picked up
my new meccano set, alias series 1, 80inch, 1953 soft top, chassis number
36660852, so, RHD, export, CKD, etc. Supposed to be ex SMA, (Dad was the Chief Engineer, had a series 1 as his "work car" when we were at Cabramurra, I remember going to school in it. It is actually pretty good, quite straight, all instuments work, motor spins over "on the button" and the lights work. No interior, but there was not a lot there to start with! Hope to have it running in the next couple of weeks so I can check the gearbox, transfer case etc.
Looking forward to keeping you all up to date,
Regards. Ducky (SMA053)
