Thread: Series 1 Year ID Please

[QUOTE=Xtreme;3154280]I now have some more numbers from the above vehicle and would appreciate confirmation or otherwise of it being an early 1951 model.

Engine Number: 06113689
Gearbox Number: 16103452

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the chassis number.[/QUOT

The engine No is 1950 & Gearbox No is 1953.
The 1st number in Chassis / Gearbox & Diff Numbers are the year, The Diff numbers are stamped on the top of the long side of the Diff housing . The Chassis number should be stamped on the top of the L/H engine mount bracket on the chassis & will be a 8 digit number , there could also be a R stamped . There may also be a 4 digit number 1/2 the height of the chassis number which has nothing to do with the chassis number , I always believed it to be a stock number but this may be incorrect. There should also be a brass chassis plate Approx 60mm X 40mm on the L/H bulkhead just below the bonnet on early S1'sor the number would be on the Transfer leaver plate on the dash on later S1's

Any chance of higher resolution copies of these two documents please? I saved these but am unable to read them due to the low resolution.
The previous attachments were saved and are quite readable.
Thanks again for your efforts.

I will try taking a photo with my camera & see if I can get a better result .

Not sure if this will be any better for you , when I zoom in it is clear on my computer

chassis no.jpg S1 Chassis No 331.jpg Will try with my tablet & see if any better.

20220703_130313.jpg 20220703_130323.jpg 20220703_130336.jpgTheas are from page with numbers from 1948 to 53 should be a little clearer. If you want from 54 yo 58 I can do the same with it

Thanks 1950Landy - I've saved all of those and they are quite readable.
I'm driving to Darwin on Tuesday and I'll have time while up there to read and digest all the info supplied so I think that will suffice for now.
Thanks again for your diligence in photographing and posting it all, much appreciated.
