    The day arrived and I picked up the car, its an odd one to me anyway, I'm hoping someone can tell me what I've got here I think its a 2a wide light but it has some odd features

    All pretty normal, Holden conversion, hardtop is aluminium riveted and covered with canvas

    It has only one fuel filler in the middle of the tub that fills aluminium tank in tray behind seats

    Plates attached and Dutch glass in hardtop

    Unusual (to Me) indicators and brake lights

    different front dumb iron and spring mounts, has gaiters so I hope swivel balls will be good

    And five what look like Game rims spokes welded to rim

    Thanks I thought it had some military history with NATO info plate on dash,grill could have been added later for bling
    rego sticker on windscreen calls it a 1972 build....series 3?????

    Also sites V921494P as chassis number which looks hand stamped to me stamping half the size of normal. Tried Calvin but can't get it to work with any of my vehicles at the moment

    have started stripping it down,defiantly series 2 bulkhead and door hinges with cool hole cast into top hinge for mirror arm, windscreen has series 2 hingeing as well

    maybe someone has cobbled together a car in the past and authorities issued a vin number like when they sight a new home built trailer.

    Cheers Paul

    I agree Dutch hardtop glass and odd fuel filler location.....who knows (I'm guessing someone does) while removing fuel tank in tub looked for behind the door filler positions.

    Nothing... no repairs to tub, or holes in tub wall behind seats ,for filler piping

    custom hardtop top is really well made as well ( metric fixing bolts)

    Cheers Paul

    No real info besides it was bought as is somewhere around Shepparton twenty odd years ago.
    was a solid daily driver until electrics fused an auto leccey said it needed a complete rewire so owner just parked it up under a tree and Mr rust moved in

    spoke to owner today and he had a look at it at my place (came off his fathers farm) and he said it had overdrive when he had it and every time he selected OD the speedo used to jump all over the place.😳

    Hole in tunnel with boot is still there but no OD on gearboxi guess someone got there before me or I'm looking at things wrong.

    Theres another series 2 on the farm his father wants gone under a tree again with a Holden motor in it maybe that's got an overdrive a well

    have first dibs on it but it's his wife's and she's got big emotional attachment to it as she drove it to Cape York decades ago, will keep working on them as under a tree storage is a death sentence to an old Landy

    Indicators and brake lenses appear to thread into housing that's Cool

    havent tried to unscrew them yet as I don't want to damage lenses and don't know quiet how to do it softly ..............maybe Dutch globes hiding in there

    Cheers Paul
