Gday
Went to my boss's partners place for dinner the other day, they live on a bush block. We were talking about Landies and she told me the boss had a few Series 1's down the paddock.
Went to have a look.
VIN no. on the first one: 57661838
Which according to these sites (Clifton Scientific Text Services, the Netherlands Classic Land Rovers) is a 1955 86 inch petrol. The poor thing had been butchered. (Rear body chopped off and converted to flat trayalso missing an engine)
The other one is a real gem though
VIN no. RO6112354
Its an 80 inch according to the Clifton website but won't tell me the year, and the other website doesnt recognise the number
Also still has original engine
Just lying around he has a roof and rear tub, and possibly a chassis not sure for what model though
My boss seems to think its a 1949. I was hoping someone could help
Ill take some pictures next time Im out there, was pitch black when I saw them
He wont sell me the 80 inch
Thanks for looking, if anyone can help with indentifying the 80 inch it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the reply mate
Ill have to have a closer look, but pretty sure it had the headlights on either side of the grill, not like the one in the forum banner up there ^
Yeah thats the one, sorry your photo just loaded after I posted the reply
Pretty sure it had bar treads as well, but again need a closer look in the day time

Hi Jock,
If you get a chance get the engine number as well as we can tell a few things from that.

Sorry mate didnt see this post otherwise would have looked today

Lots of good pics. By the body number, the SWB (80") is a 1950 model.
The LWB looks like a 107" so 1953 to 1955. Those headlights in the front guard are not original, it only would have had the ones in the grille.
