As far as I know, they were all built like that.
Handy tip I discovered for an 80" rebuild is that the clutch pedal is usually so worn the pips are nearly non existant. Knock out the pin, remove the pedal and replace it with the brake pedal from an 86, 88, 107, 109:D

Those pips I have built up with a hard facing rod, That worked for me.

Arthur,
I have that on a Series II.
Whoever did it didn't even try to match up with the original pips ! Mind you they were probably doing it to stop their foot from slipping rather than a resto....

I rebuilt mine with a MIG - very easy to do and worked superbly,

There were four pre-production cars that Came to Tanganyika, I have photos of two of them taken in Kongwa in 1948 with the Registrations DS 8955 and DS 8957, the earliest production car I have is DS 8982Attachment 188566

The brass badge has the raised edge like the alloy one. Not the earlier plain edge one.
When did the pedals change from bronze to steel ?

Hi Keith,

Funny enough when I picked up an old 49 Landy from Dalby years ago it was found to have a very early front diff, I think it was number 860064 or around that.
Possibly from one of these vehicles at Injune?

Rumour has it they imported a Tickford privately too as well as the early 80' utes. I will get a photo of his brass grill badge and post it up.

Hi Keith, A few years back I was in contact with a guy in Rockhampton/ Yeppoon area who was telling me about a strange looking S1he had seen near where he lived, when I sent him a photo of the 80" S/W he said he was sure this was the vehicle he had seen. On researching how it may have been in the area I came across articles about the Queensland British Food Corporation who had imported their machinery from the failed South African corporation & direct from the UK. I guess if this was a 80" S/W it was a private import from SA & would not show on Australian sales records. I know of two other 80" basics that came from the failed QBFC ( one was in Rockhampton , a 1948 the other in Marlborough , either 48 or 49. The guy went to where he had seen this vehicle but unfortunately the scrappies had been through the property to clean it up & the property was for sale.
I have viewed a lot of photo's from the QBFC & only ever managed to find one photo od a 80"LR.
