Thread: Help identify?

Hi,

Can you post the number on the plate on the firewall - bit difficult to read.
Could be R86....; R866....; R0610.... - that way we can give you more info. The headlights through the grille was introduced after the side lights on the firewall were deleted.

I read it as 06112330
Thanks for response

From the LRSOC Chassis number identifier it looks like:

1950 Model Year (built between August 1949 and July 1950) Land Rover 80" 1595cc Mobile Welder. That's assuming I read the Car No. correctly off the data plate photo.

Cheers Nigel

Must have replied at the same time. I had read it as 0642330. If it is 06112330 then the model year is the same but a basic model.

Cheers! I spotted it on a property near where I'm working. It's a shame to see it go to waste, might see if the owner will part with it :-)

Hi,

It's a 1950 model (1950 Model numbering introduced August 1949). Vehicle numbers near this were being sold in Sydney by Grenville Motors, the NSW Distributor in September/October 1950.

You can find the chassis number - should be the same - on top of the passenger side engine mount flat section.
