Actually it was a NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service vehicle sold on 24/5/1968.

The original engine number was 25299411J with NSW Rego EXN-284 and ign key 883 (?FP) plus fitted with Goodyear bar tread tyres.

Cool, thanks for that.
I'll check the engine number tomorrow when i go for another look, it also comes with a second 88" thats buggered, but chock full of spares.

I'm trying not to sell myself on the idea.......

Cheers Sam

Hey how did you find that information about the landy?

The original dispatch books from Grenville Motors still exist in the care of a forum member's father or grandfather. A scanned copy of the records are held by a small number of people Diana has one copy, I have another.
If you think your Series Landy may be a NSW delivered vehicle, it can be looked up by chassis number but Diana is much more familiar with the records than I am!

well the deal is done....
pick up will be early next week hopefully!
there seems to be bugger all rust in the chassis, and the firewall only has a couple of spots at the bottom of the a pillar. not bad at all!
I only got 1 pic today, but i'll get that up asap.

here you go, not a great pic.......
not a great colour either!
Cheers Sam.

There are also some limited information on 1950 CKD vehicles sent to Australia, mainly only the master distributor name and batch groups, LRO53 and AC 260 have a complete set of the 80 dispatch records from Gaydon. But remember CKD records are groups of 6 vehicles without engine number.

I also hold a table of NSW LR dealers in the 1950s and 1960s, plus a table of vehicle ID and owner details from a single unidentified Land Rover Dealer in central Victoria (these were uncovered in the front of a workshop manual)

Diana

well, we picked her up today,
however the boss is not real happy.....
She drives fairly well, apart from a dodgy radiator cap.

Now to see if I can convince the boss to let me keep it, otherwise, she'll be back on the market, (the landy, not the wife)

Cheers Sam
