Thread: Series Landies

Respect to the "Land Rover - Santana" you can see http://www.pruebas.pieldetoro.net/we....php?ID=710.10 (the problem is I don't know web site about "Santana" in English).

JDSNW: You're right the word is "hood". (I'm learning your language)

Missus: The red Series I belong to a friend, but he's in Brasil right now. The restoration will continue when he back to Colombia, to his city "Neiva" (near to 600km to South). If do you want, I can post some pics.

Roverray: The grey? (I don't know what's grey, I suppose do you write gray) hmm ... the blue it's the mine; and the green is 1.951 in the documents, I haven't got the VIN no one those vehicles. But you give me a great idea ... I'll go if I can obtain them.

Au revoir!

As already noted. changes were made to the SI. Thus perhaps the 1 and 1A remark.

Early Series I's had a small oval centre dash and the back of the doors was slanted. - RARE and worthy of a good restoration.

Later Series I's had a SII type dash (metal shelf) and the typical square door.

Prorotypes had brass instead of alloy or steel brake & clutch cylinders. - I remember reading of someone who found a prototype in the Sahara once, he recognised it by the brass and shipped it back to the UK for restoration.

As you are learning, there are several different dialects of English (I suppose Spanish is the same!). The two major ones are British English and American English - Australian English is a mixture of the two but closer to British English, and with some special differences.

In written English the differences show up mainly in the spelling and the choice of words, and you have noticed examples of both - "hood" for the engine cover is American English, in Britain or Australia we would say "bonnet"; The colour that is a mixture of white and black is "gray" in American English, but "grey" in Britain and Australia. But in general Australians have no problems reading American or British English.
