Gday
Went to my boss's partners place for dinner the other day, they live on a bush block. We were talking about Landies and she told me the boss had a few Series 1's down the paddock.
Went to have a look.
VIN no. on the first one: 57661838
Which according to these sites (Clifton Scientific Text Services, the Netherlands (http://www.clifton.nl/index.html'main.html) Classic Land Rovers (http://www.classiclandrovers.no/?page=documents/vinlookup&PHPSESSID=cf5852a5d18f6e2ba8cc5814ca0b215b)) is a 1955 86 inch petrol. The poor thing had been butchered. (Rear body chopped off and converted to flat tray :( also missing an engine)
The other one is a real gem though
VIN no. RO6112354
Its an 80 inch according to the Clifton website but won't tell me the year, and the other website doesnt recognise the number
Also still has original engine :)
Just lying around he has a roof and rear tub, and possibly a chassis not sure for what model though
My boss seems to think its a 1949. I was hoping someone could help
Ill take some pictures next time Im out there, was pitch black when I saw them
He wont sell me the 80 inch :(, but said I could lend a hand restoring it. Looking forward to it :)
Thanks for looking, if anyone can help with indentifying the 80 inch it would be greatly appreciated
