    Can anyone decifer this ??

    Ive had a look at the 3 plates sitting under the instrument cluster and being a noob at these old things im hoping someone can shed a bit of light as to what they mean, first plate is a small blue and silver one saying it was produced by Pressed Metal Corp LTD
    Body No-LRL909
    Ser No-109/909

    Below that is the rover Co Pty Ltd plate with
    Car No-123700429

    What do all these numbers mean??

    Also where do i find the chassis number and engine number?

    Thanks in advance all

    PMC assembled your landie. That's their batch plate.
    The other one is the LR chassis # (for a 1957 vehicle).
    That should match the number stamped on the L/h rear spring hanger.
    1 Type: Land Rover
    23 Model: Land Rover, Series I
    Body type: Basic
    Wheel base: 109in (Long Wheel Base, LW
    Engine: Petrol
    Destination: Right-hand drive (RHD), completely knocked down (CKD)
    7 Model year: 1957
    00429 Serial number

    So some of the PMC plate will now make sense to you?!

    Engine # will be on the l/h side up front near the water pump/thermostat.

    Chassis number on the left hand rear spring hanger. Stamped on the outside near the shackle.
