the body no. LRS 453
the serial no. 86/453
engine no. 212192? (Also missing digit/s here - is it a series II engine)

yer is affected by surface rust couldnt read it properly
and the number on the firewall has two sevens

Looks to be in remarkably good overall condition from the photos.

Gearbox number should be on the top bit (bit with the square plate on top) of the main gearbox, on the RH side, running horizontally, just above the join to the main casing.

Axle numbers should be on top (but not right on top) of the axle, on the long side, from memory usually inboard of the breather.

At work ATM and haven't got my books. So from memory:

Your pics are of an 86" and from late 1955 the 9 numbers were prefix 1766+5 for UK assembled and 1776+5 for CKD. In which case you are missing 2 digits and my guestimate of what you should have is 177601317

considering that it was used for beach from mid 70s its in remarkably good condition my mum recalls it being stripped down painted in tar and covered in fish oil. my grandfather washed it down and sprayed it in fish oil every week so thanks to him there is very little rust work to deal with

Shaunh,

Have another look at the plate on the firewall - is it possible the number could be 47760317?
This would make it a very early 1954 86"
