I seem to recall a mention that someone has the records for the series ones assembled in Sydney, would anyone happen to have some contact details for this.

I currently restoring a 57 88", hopefully in a year or so she may live again.

Not quite true.

The records for Land Rovers distributed by Grenville Motors in Sydney still exist. The records cover the period 1948 through to 1972.

Many series 1s were assembled by Pressed Metals Corp in Sydney but were distributed to the final customers by one of five master distributors.

Hope that helps.

Tell me the chassis number and I'll see what I can uncover for you.

My chassis no. is 113701300.
I suspect she probably resided somewhere in the New England of NSW for most of her life. There was a bit of faint writing on the doors but it's too worn to make out.
