So does it have an air locker?

I remember seeing your Series 1 parked up over on the airfield, and thought to self 'that's an unusual one, must have a look at it later, sadly later never came I got too side tracked looking at all the other eye candy that was on offer, cheers Dennis

No, but because at the time I was a supplier to ARB I managed to score a set of stickers.
Funny story:
Me to diff designer "do ARB make a locker for my Series I".
Diff designer " I'll look it up......yes we do, seems to fit 1948 through to mid 1980's" pause "I think I want a job at Land Rover as a designer because they obviously don't do much......"
I pointed out that if you get it right there is no need to change it and there wasn't a need to upgrade everyhing when a new model came out back then.

I had a really good look at it, and I think it was just about the most interesting one there!

They are still using the same diff now in 90s an 110/130 fronts. Only problem is they should have changed it to a hypoid design many years ago.
