Thread: Land Rovers during the Snowy Scheme

This is Theiss, well into the Tumut II contract, in June 1959. How does this fit in the toyota marketing timeline..

"In 1955 the American construction company KWPR... working on the Adaminaby earth fill dam in the Snowy Mountains. The job, expected to take 15 years, was finished in three, with teams working three shifts every day."

The K was not for Kosciusko - here is a Landy with a Kosciusko 'badge' and in 1966 its not yet a National Park.

K.W.P.R , most likely Kaiser Walsh Perini Raymond the main contractors on the Snowy. .W.

We saw this image earlier.

Note the Grenville Motors plate on the front LHS mudguard. These were only fitted on late 1949 and early 1950 Land Rovers and had disappeared by late 1950.

A very collectable item!

You can see the same plate in these images shown earlier in the thread
