the 80''seems to have a holden grey motor ??? the other, below the birds nest is some old rusty block. the front bumper hangers are rusted off on the 86'' but has a reasonable body, the 80 is the reverse having the better chassis, not sure how i will get them going, i have yet to convince the ball and chain to get her horses out of the shed to make room for my toys

I'm just wondering if any one knows who the Brisbane dealer was who sold Series 1 landrovers?
I have an oval brass badge on mine with the number 00008 on it . Does that mean it was number 8 sold in Queensland?
hi there is only one master distributor for Qld, annand and thomson, who also supplied northern rivers of NSW. where is the badge position can you put up photo jimQuote:

It was originally a diesel but now has a Holden and it came off a farm near Bathurst, previously also off a farm. Owner is not sure if it has ever been registered. Is there anyone who might know the car or how I can see if previously registered somewhere as I intend to put it back on the road with historic plates eventually.
Actually if the 122800032 number is correct, it was in fact a 1958 petrol vehicle. What is interesting is that the vehicle is UK built export model.Quote:

I know I'm slow! :(Quote:

Hi all,
my 109 S1 chassis number missed a number ( or I missed it) --it is in fact 128800032 so that makes it a diesel CKD etc--how do I get Annard and Thomson details re vehicles they sold in case it started in Qld.

128800032 does exist in the Grenville Motors allocations book and is recorded as being sent to a NSW Dealer Amos Smith & Co under the customer name of Henderson dispatched out on the 13th June 1958 the original engine number was 126800697.
AS for the registration information, they are likely destroyed under the 25 year rule. As for registering it, it should not be a problem as we have a record of its original sale in NSW and if needs be we can likely get a statutory declaration from the custodian of the original books Arthur Garthon.
