Hi all ,
I am trying to find out about the origins of my 1970 2A LWB .
Firstly ( I assume ??? ) that the Land Rovers came out to Australia as complete chassis's or as CKD's ( complete knock down kits ) and assembled at either Enfield or Zetland's Leyland plants ??
Only reason I say that is due to the Rover plaque from Solihull ( UK ) with the chassis number and then a smaller plaque from the " Pressed metal corp. " in Sydney who I assume made the body ??
The numbers on both plaques are different . Can somebody please clear this up for me .
Also I think that the selling dealer was " Annand and Thompson in Newstead , Brisbane as the sticker is on the dash ?? Were they a Land Rover dealer up north which I believe is where my Landy came from .
It has a Athol Hedges " monotop canopy " which I am led to believe that they did few bits and pieces for Land rover and are also in Brissy.
Any info would be greatly appreciated .
