56-57...need to research for date, all there, appears no rust, need to get home and look closer, found in Central Aus, outside Alice. Hope to record build here, I'll be asking members for info/help with this as I have never owned a LR before...3 year time period I give it.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
Nice find, they are still out there !!
Very nice indeed,,, will be watching with interest
That is a fantastic find!!!!
Very nice! The firewall is a likely spot for rust, followed by foot wells and the gearbox support member of chassis. Get the chassis number from the pass side rear spring support hanger and go to this site
Clifton Scientific Text Services, the Netherlands
That is usually pretty good for info.
Enjoy it!

Just going by the radiator panel it looks as if it is an 86" so more likely 54/55 range.

Looks pretty complete, and with that provenance is likely to be as rust free as they come. But it may well have been "run into the ground", so that a lot of mechanical work is needed. Or with any luck was replaced fairly early in its life by the more advanced Series 2/2a, possibly to gain a diesel. The glass for the missing rear window may be lying nearby, the rubber mounting having disintegrated.

? is there something interesting in the grass in the image shot of the rear, or is it just some other rubbish laying around in the weeds, from where I'm looking you will need 4 wheels and a minimum of 8 wheel nuts a few mates and a car trailer, just for your information if your a newbie the wheel nuts and studs are 9/16"BSF, you may want to try n borrow a tap and die nut in that thread size, the reason I say "Die Nut" is that a die nut is hex headed, you would not be able to use a proper die because of all the protrusions on the axle assembly, anyway mate it looks tempting.
A very long time ago (1976) whilst we were driving out to Ayers Rock on the track (and that's what it was back then) I came across a Series 1 107" that had been rolled, some bits were missing off it, I didn't take anything as I had no room for anything LOL, good luck with your venture, cheers Dennis
ps take a hefty brass faced hammer with you as well, when you have it safely jacked up, give the brake drums a whack if they are frozen/stuck onto the brake drum,,.
Thanks Dennis, good advise on brass hammer, and a keen eye re something interesting.....it is a PTO winch, I believe it used to power a large timber saw for when the owner cut fence posts.
I went out last weekend and got the wheels, and painted this week. $300 for sandblasting and powder coating. I have ordered tyres 600 16, recovery is still a few weekend away I'll update when I recovery vehicle
