For the sake of this thread, the green one I'll name SLR named after the original owner here in Alice Springs, and the silver one I'll name CLR also named after the original owner here in Alice Springs.
Both vehicles have belonged to early Centralian Pioneers, both SLR and CLR played there fair share of adventures in NT and are both worthy of restoration. I have a photo of SLR driving up Ayers Rock, culturally appropriate....not nowadays, but none the less a great story, and a photo I will share.
CLR was used as a farm implement( previous photos on here)and was used as the local home milko delivery vehicle.
some might say build a good one out of the two...but I recon there both worthy given the stories that the old guy's sons have shared about the cars.

Pulled box out for rebuild and started to clean chassis, it appears it is a yellow colour underneath all the crud, with this marking...any clues as to what it means, is it factory?
RoverLord
No idea what the writing is, but the yellow is the colour that Department of Supply painted Landrovers used by several Commonwealth organisations including the Bureau of Mineral Resources and DCA. (Not sure whether D of S painted them or bought them from Rover Australia that way)

SupporterMy '56 has a yellow (Chromate) primer under the green. Might just be just the undercoat you've found.
You can see traces of the yellow in the pictures below.

Yellow ndercoat, thanks.
i am now restoring tail shafts, I have made 2 good ones out of several so I have no play in splines, one is earlier series one and have marks to line up with good.
the other is from series 2, with larger Uni joints
question I have is the later series 2 shaft has arrow on yoke but no aligning arrow on shaft, the shaft does have a small hole on the spline weld, is this hole the aligning make for the yoke?
