Reply With QuoteHello, do you have the reg number, the owner may be a member of LROCV?
In mid 1999 I sold a very unique Series 3A Landy. It was the first one ever fully built / assembled in Australia. The chassis was fully built in Australia by Pressed Metal Corp in Enfield, NSW. In fact we used to have both the short wheelbase and the long wheelbase first build vehicles on the family farm for many years. I am trying to trace the longwheel base one that was sold to a person in Rosebud, Victoria by myself. He was planning to restore it. It was light blue with cream roof and was a 2 litre petrol engine. The reason for this is that we would like to purchase the landy back as it has so much value to our family. If anyone can help me could they please contact me, John Isles, on jisles@ozemail.com.au
Many thanks for your help.................

Hello, do you have the reg number, the owner may be a member of LROCV?
It was deregistered at time of sale and travelled to Rosebud with a permit and no plates, as an 'Historical Vehicle'. I am trying to trace some paperwork that may give Chassis number and serial / engine number through old family records.

What's a 3A? A 3A with a 2 litre petrol engine... do you have a year of manufacture?

SupporterSurely a early series 2 rather than a 2A with a 2 litre engine. Or are we in fact talking a series 1? Certainly my 57 series 1 was made by the PMC. So if the subject vehicle was made there maybe it is a series 1.
Selsi - can you clarify what vehicle we are actually talking about.

I was referring to the one in the ebay advertisement, clearly a much modified 2a from the photo.
I suspect the one referred to originally may also be a 2a, although the reference to a 2 litre engine suggests, as you do, a very early Series 2; but he is looking for a lwb, and I thought that engine was only in the swb, unless it was the diesel, the 2l version of which was in short and long Series 1 & 2, the change to 2.25 defining the 2a.
Build by Pressed Metal Corporation does not suggest that it was a Series 1 - the Series 1, Series 2, Series 2a that I have previously owned, plus the 1970 2a I have at present, were all built by PMC, so he may be referring to the first of a particular model built by them - but as there was no such model as a 3a, then it was most likely the first 2, 2a or 3 built by them. More information needed, such as a model date, or even better a chassis or engine number.

This was the first Series III built in Australia and with its 'brother' a short wheel base were actually a series III body and chassis but with series II mechanicals. Both of them were built to test the chassis jigs at PMC, Enfield, prior to commencing Australian production of the series III. They were classified as Series IIIA to distinguish them from the latter series III. My father in law was the MD of PMC at ther time and purchased both vehicles after their testing was complete, and took them to his property at Tarana, NSW where they were used for many years. The Short wheel base one was sold but I kept the long wheel base one for many year. My son drove it up until he went overseas to live in 1999. He now would like to buy it back and have it on his property in Oberon, NSW. I, hopefully, have managed to attach a photo of the onde that I am trying to trace. It also is unique in that it is or was a very unusuallt light blue colour that was never used in Australian production. It was called Cambridge Blue and was really a 'baby' blue!!!
