Thread: 1958 Series 1

I'm with the others, just give it a tidy up.

The little utes look great don't they?

My 80" may have had a similar bar at some point in time, as there holes in the side of the bulkhead where the side rails on yours attach.

Meant to say also, Ol' Mate I bought it off threw in a couple of manuals.

One is a Land Rover Series 1 Workshop Manual dated March 1951. It has a leather front and rear and metal hinges holding the sections together inside. A bit early for my 88" but would it be fair to assume there would not be a lot of these around or are they fairly common?

The other is a Series 2A Owner Handbook which does have a bit in common with the 1958 Series 1.

Great looking little beasty and as others have said.........leave it as it is.

Don't know why you would need two mirrors for rego, unless it is a State thing. We got our 2A registered a couple of weeks ago with one mirror, although our S1 has three.

There is not a lot of stuff in the March 1951 Workshop Manual (TP/138A) that relates to your car although it would be useful for someone with an 80". The manual is the second of the workshop manuals (note the superseding note in the bottom RHS) and as an original are sort of valuable but are the not as rare as the earlier document. In fact there are very few of the 1948 publication complete as the instructions from Rover read that dealers were to remove the amended pages and replace them with the 1949 versions etc. TP/138A has been re-printed and is available from the LRSOC in the UK That said I would keep your TP/138A if you are interested in the marque, or otherwise pass it on to another enthusiast. (or God forbid you ebay it.)

The LRSOC also has reprints of the later (but original) workshop manuals for the S1 86/88/107/109 also at £30.00 or you could acquire one of the reprinted Rover Co. 1948 - 1958 Series One Workshop manuals available through Brooklands Books or more recently through Haynes publications.
