Land Rover Series 1 80" Soft Top For Sale (1952) on Car And Classic UK

BTW I did not know that landies S1 had aluminium bulkheads? check out the blurb in the advert!
True or false ? every S1 that I have come across is steel!

A great site if you want to reminisce about all the cars your Mar and Pa owned in the 50's and 60's or even early 1900's (horseless carriages) if you are very old but young at heart . Whooo there Neddy..

There was a time when the presses for the steel bulkheads broke.
Hand fabricated bulkheads in alloy were used as a stopgap.
These are quite rare. Steel is the norm.

News to me - mine is steel.

Visit the Series One Club forum in the UK and you can see photos of one that Fen Boy has restored and also some links to an interesting discussion on why they may have been made,

Cheers Charlie

how do we know that these are pics of aluminium fabricated bulkheads, look the same as steel ?
just by looking.
if true it must have cost land rover a fortune and many hours of O/T to keep the production line in operation?
just an observation that's all mate....
this is the real stuff of a Forum, go for gold...........woh harrrrr

they are different

actually looking at the footwells this could be a great solution if your footwells were beyond repair
