Series 1 80"

Check out Mike Bishop's site here John; well worth a read.

"1951 - sidelights moved from bulkhead to mudguards."
My '51 has them in the bulkhead.

The one you have found looks to be in pretty good nick, especially what I can see of the chassis. Mine had most of the chassis missing, but it wasn't difficult to repair it. If you get a Series 1 there are heaps of enthusiasts over your way.

PM me, if you would like an email address to join a Series 1 forum which is mainly set up to cover NSW and Victoria.

Cheers Chazza

G'day All, From memory the fully floating Series 1 axles were approx 20mm, 5/8" shorter than the Series 2 fully floating axles, just to add to the confusion cheers Dennis:wasntme:

Yes, narrower track as well. You can use the later half shafts by turning down worn drive flanges as spacers. I would have thought the difference was a bit more than that.

I have had Mike Bishop's site bookmarked for years - just didn't think of using it!

I have no intention of getting a Series 1 - I simply can't afford it! I was just bringing these to the attention of anyone in this forum who might be interested.

I know of at least one other 80" in this area that may be available. It is actually a goer, but not as early as this one.

thanks for the info fella's.
I can spot the difference 'tween an MB and GPW chassis at 10 paces but early Landies are a bit of a mystery to me....
