Just picked up this lil 88"

[Lost Landy]

Hi all, thought show a few pics of the 1958, 88" that I just picked up from down near Murrumbateman N.S.W. its all original including what is left of the bronze green paint. The best thing is that is has a sweet running 2L motor & is totaly rust free. Sorry about the poor quality pics as i had to use my mobile phone.

If the engine and running gear is all sweet then it looks like your main job is the front seats.

I just got an Exmoor Trim brochure (included with a LR mag) and they have replacement seats and backs for Series I. They even have the little leather straps to hold the seat backs up.

What did it set you back, if you don't mind telling?

Nice one Lost Landy, you have got to love it when they have some markings on them, I presume it is a property name.

Cheers, Mick.

In NSW up to about 1963 goods carrying vehicles (all vehicles other than cars and buses) were required to have clearly marked on the right hand side the owner's name and address and the tare and gross weights. This applied even if used as private vehicles, as utes and vans had to be registered as commercial vehicles. The change to allow private registration of commercial type vehicles was introduced about then, and some time later the requirement for signage seems to have gone. Not too sure of the dates, as it happened after 1962 when I left NSW.

The landy was originaly from Quambone and was bought by a pastoral company in new in 1958. The rear tub isnt mine, picked up the rear tub for a mate on the way home but now he wants to sell the tub lol. I paid just under $700 for Landy.

Everything you need for a great resto.

Looks great! :)

[olmate]

Have done very well :D:D It looks like a great little project ;)

[Lost Landy]

My plans are to restore it mechanicaly, rust proof the chassis and fire but leave the body as is, I love the well used but not abused look. Though may have to tidy up the front guards so it can pass rego.

Good on you Mate. I agree with the substance of your rebuild plans. I would never aspire to own a Land Rover that I was afraid of scratching the duco.

Just picked up this bitza of an 86" today. The motor runs like a swiss watch and it goes very well too. Not bad for $100.
