Well Done Kat and Dan:D
On the plates, you can't have 56LND,56LRO or LND56 as I have them, but LRO56 is available OR there is a special 7 letter prestige special on at the moment that will fit MATILDA.

Very nice find Dan, looking forward to seeing it on the road.
Top Stuff.
Sweet Series One. There's something pure and raw with a Series One...they're a special Land Rover. One day I'll have one too. :D
Mate that thing looks sweet :)
May you have many uncomfortable, but joyful drives in her :p
I just ordered the timber to convert the carport to a shed so mine will look like that sometime
G'day Scallops & Kat woman :)
You could possibly have white on black re-issue OLR-056 :)
cheers
Thanks again, folks. I was quite overwhelmed last night at the GCLRO meeting. zulu Delta (Glen) presented both Kat Woman and I with t-shirts - these have a piccy of Matilda on them, with, "Guess what I own" written above it! :D
Well, I'm wearing mine to work today!
It didn't end there though - later in the evening, Hodgo came over for a chat and has given me an original Land Rover service manual for the 1956 Series 1! I was very humbled by these lovely gestures, and if this is any indication as to life as a Series 1 owner, I know I am going to enjoy it. :)
Thanks you all again for your well wishes.

I have found the book and will give it to Glen to pass on to you.
Hodgo
That looks magnificent, hodgo - thank you so much. :)Quote:

Land Rover FAQ - History, Production, Sales - Chassis Numbering
My chassis is 57662061
So the revelation hits me - it's not a '56 88. :eek: It's a 1955 (5), Land Rover (7), 86 inch (6), late 1955 RHD export knock down (6), serial number 2061.
Am I right? :angel:
PS - This does look like it!

Near the end of the run.
5 1955
7 series 1
6 86" Basic CKD
6 Export RHD
2061 0f 2250
Told you you didn't need that extra 2 inches:D
Just over 1000 older than mine. It was delivered 5/5/55 so yours should have been towards the end of the year, hence why the owner might of thought it was a '56.
