Thread: S.1. 1956 LWB

Hi there Digger

Are they being nasty to you............dont worry my wife calls mine Chitty Chitty bang bang - but on a better note, my old landy has given up smoking (hahahaha)

You have heard the old Land Rover Saying - if there not leaking oil they have non.

All the best

Wayne

and whilst away I was offered "whatever you need" off a s1 on a property of a workmate......

I popped over to have a look....
and although it has a holden engine it seems good to me....except for the modified firewall (as in rusted out in vents area!)

so I think Ill get it off him and look for a s1 firewall.... 1957 if i read it correctly..

The spare tyre is just sitting between the bullbar and guards.....
the interior has three seats, and three spade (well thats what I call them) backs...

more to come....

it also had some surprises... the holed bar across rear (implement bar?)
and under the middle seat a little home made door....

it has a PTO with "concealed lever!!!"
and a killer rollbar (that I think is a shocker)

anyway.... I like it... I may m.ake moves to get it but Ill need a firewall......

anyone have a spare???

cheers

Are you sure it's home made? My 80" has one there also.

Hi there

I will stand corrected but believe they were an optional extra on the 86" and 88'' etc - and were only fitted for those vehicles with a PTO.

All the 80" had the hole there from factory.

I have a "dunny seat" in my 107. Although I think the previous owner got it from a 86/88
