You won"t fit with bucket seats trust me The second bulkhead will have to give or better still extenda rover on a coil chassis

Looks to be a Very Late 51 due the the lack of side lights on the firewall. The Middle seat is original 51 but the outer 2 are from an earlier model.

Or it could go this way the front guards are 2-piece which means they have been swapped from an earlier model or it is an late 50 or early 51 and the firewall sidelights were just cut off. Who knows... The firewall seems to be missing its center oval....

Any chance of a chassis number?

Anyways Congrats!

She's safe and sound in my front yard now.

According to CalVIN

The wiring is an absolute mess because the previous owner decided to "isolate" everything bar the starter and coil, just the bare essentials. Saying that, the engine (holden 186) runs flawlessly, it's even got clean oil took her for a hot lap round the block and down to the vacant block to test it's cooking credentials (doughnut making specifically ) which it also excelled at. Only thing is that one or two of the brake cylinders have frozen transfering all the breaking power to one wheel at the back and front...

Looks like she will be the farm hack for a while, mum is really keen on painting it too haha

I am not a fan of GMH in Landys but the 186 do go OK as will hold revs and don't cook or burn pistons and valves.


Not to much doughnut making or the short rear axle will go ping Done it a few times in our 173 powered 80"
