I just won this little 1955 86" and cant wait to pick it up on the weekend.
It has a holden six in it and the Landy looks to be in quite good cond.
Though i wont be doing the usuall bring it back to original cond resto.
Iam going to bin the holden 6 and drop in a 3.5 rover V8

I got all excited when I saw that on ebay as I thought it was my old series 1 that I owned from 78 to 85.

I had mine painted yellow,put a series 3 grill on and moved the lights to the guards when the holden went in - and crucially put in a fuel filler just behind drivers door.

Here was a pic of mine



Looking at yours more closely though I decided that despite the similarities that it was not my vehicle. The series 3 lights were not in mine and I had modifed the dash.

If you find the front crossmember has been removed and replaced with a huge piece of angle iron and the radiator panel was home made. If you find these I will get quite excited.
