    Looks Like I'm Joining the Series Clan

    Hi All,

    Due to the generosity of another Landrover member I will be finally acquiring a 1963 SWB SII!

    Needs a resto but that's the whole idea. I have ALOT to learn and hoping i can make some great contacts through this process.

    He has given me the engine numbers etc and knows the details of the vehicle as he's already done research on the car however I would like to try to ascertain what color and details the car came with. He has told me the car is all matching numbers and original, I would like to work towards restoring it with my young son to it's former glory.

    Chassis: 24304085B
    Engine: 25146862D

    Thanks Jonathan (J

    Thanks Ian. People have been very helpful already.

    One of the mods has given information of a couple I was looking at, I am hoping someone can run my serial numbers and tell me what they can about the car?

    Delivered 11-7-63 by Grenville Motors as a Truck Cab to J Wallace. The engine is the original.
    J Wallace bought two from that batch, he could have been acting as an agent or dealer.

    Hope that helps!

    Wallace was the local LR dealer at the time

    So where is it everyone derives this vehicle information from, it's incredible!

    IIRC, a few members have some of the original books showing this info. My understanding is that the info is available (as shown above) but with a condition that the books are not copied. Those custodians have always been forthcomming with the info and helped as much as possible. To ensure this continues, the (copy restriction) condition needs to be respected.

    Thanks Paul and Mark, this information sharing is very much appreciated and has made myself very happy, and even more excited. I have every intention of trying to restore and use the information as part of the history of the vehicle and the next stage of its life and my tenure of the vehicle.

    Thanks guys

    That's a nice, straight looking shorty you have there. I'm looking forward to more photo's and hearing of your progress with a resto. Doesn't look like it needs too much - a couple of indicators and a windscreen glass ... and probably a "few" other things to keep you amused for a while!
    Cheers
