Thread: Land Rovers in Lebanon

A nice stage one that found in a ski resort. The back tray is not common in Lebanon, it looks like an Australian made product. What do you think?

Could be, but those latches on the side board were not commonly fitted to Series Landrover trays, and the headboard is not typical either. By the time of Stage 1, most tray bodies for traybacks were supplied by Rover/Leyland (whatever was the current name) in Sydney, and this is not one of them. Having said that, they were always available as a cab/chassis and a different tray was sometimes fitted by a state distributor, a dealer, or even an owner.

The factory supplied tray had different latches, and the headboard was rectangular with horizontal bars made from U-section steel about 7cm wide and 2.5cm deep, very different from that.

Series Land Rovers are being looked after and refurbished.

That's a good example of a beautiful restoration, yet they have to match the rim's color to the original and find a suitable spare wheel.

I was left with no more arguments and explanations to make the gentlemen accept to sell me this SI he bought new when he was young. I will return.

I see licence plates, is that road legal? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get that registered here.
