Going by that number looks to be a MY1950 Cheers Brendon.

The information Brendon gave you is correct, the transmission is from a late 1950 model - this transfer should have been fitted to a freewheel output (constant 4WD box) and does not have 2 wheel drive selectable in high range.

I am assuming the 1951 CKD car number (16660088) of your "AULRO name" has something to do with your question. The transmission in your question is correct for your 1951 but not for most other 1951's. It has the wrong front output case for a 1953 or 1954 vehicle although the gear box, transfer box are relatively interchangeable.

The 80" finished with the 1953 model as Mrs Numpty suggests.

Brendon - can you tell me what the "MY" in front of the 1950 means? I have never heard that term in relation to a series Land Rover before.

Cheers, so im now a proud owner of a 1951 80inch, happy days. The old boy who gave it to me said a 54, although it did belong to his brother who passed away a good few years ago. the motor goes well but the only thing wrong with it is the first gear, it looks like it was in a pub fight its got that many chipped teeth.

Diana, what is a CKD car number, please excuse my ignorance, this is the first landy ive had dealings with, its normally minni coopers and other British cars, Thanks. Anthony.

I think what Diana meant was " CKD car, number.....".

CKD is an acronym for "Completely Knocked Down". Many Landrovers were exported from England as "CKD" kits of parts for assembly overseas, in the case of Australia, by the Pressed Metal Corporation in Sydney.

The vehicle chassis number (not a VIN - that is a 1970s concept) identifies it as a CKD export vehicle. Although it varied a bit from time to time, the Rover chassis numbers identify right and left hand drive, home market, export and CKD, usually the year of manufacture, and, for later models where there was a choice, the engine, wheelbase and body type.

Diana, MY signifies model year, an acronym commonly used by manufacturers these days.

But not for Series Landrovers, where the concept was continuous improvement, and changes were not tied to years.

Yes the CKD of your chassis/car number (which should be the same) relates to a vehicle assembled from parts outside the UK (most likely Australia, in one of the 4 master distributors: Regent Motors Melbourne; Grenville Motors Sydney; Champion's Adelaide; or Annand and Thompson Brisbane).

In relation to the "MY" - I was trying to equate the MY to the Codes from the post 1980 international VIN conventions. But was confused because LB = Series 3, LD = Defender 110 and I couldn't find an "MY". I guess the MY as model year could be considered true for the vehicles between 1948 and 1961 and after 1980, when the chassis number did equate to a "model year".
