    info request

    I have received the following via email

    if anyone can help the gentleman i am sure he will be most appreciative

    TIA

    Hi my name is James A Pearson (senior@jimpearson.com.au)
    I worked on S.M.H.E.A. from January 1950 and was appointed assistant to the Plant Engineer his name was Pat Mullins he was allocated a Land Rover Welder in June 1950.
    He preferred to be driven so I had the Land Rover and picked him up each morning to inspect Plant & equipment in the regions where work was progressing.
    Part of my duties was to repair equipment with the welder where possible,which saved a lot of time and expense,the option being to transport the machine back to Plant workshop at Polo Flat Cooma.
    This Land Rover was fully imported through Grenville Motors and I think it was trialing the 2 Lt motor.
    I would like to know can identify this vehicle and if it is a club members Land Rover
    Thank you in anticipation Jim

    Yes, but mine is a 'home made' job not a factory one.

    I know of one 80" welder in Adelaide. I don't know where it came from though.

    Incisor,

    06300008, 06300011 (owned by Alister) and 06300023 were all sold to the Snowy Mountain scheme via Grenvilles as I understand it.

    It is possible that one may have been fitted with a prototype 1997cc engine as the 071 series were produced in the same time frame.

    Although this information may not be of any great help to Jim it would be interesting to know if he has any photo's of the welder at work.

    Regards

    Richard (owner of 06300025)
