Introducing 'Wally' 06107967 Restoration Project

[Tomo]

Hi all,
Here is some photos of my latest project. It is a 1950 80"which has come off Wollergrang and Amundgie Amundgie station the NT. It is fairly complete, some of the things missing are - ammeter, one soft top bar and passenger side seat box cover missing. However the following are not original
Engine - 47109713 - makes it a 54 model
gearbox - 25240734 - S2a Suffix C

Front and rear axle are original
Front - 06108548
Rear - 06118?82

The chassis seems to be fairly rust free!

It was originally sold by Annard and Thompson and still has the tailgate and right front guard 'Land Rover'in yellow. Also still has the brass plates

This will be a very slow restoration as funds and time become available.
This resto or thread will not be of the standard of 'Dinty' however his thread and the recent show For The Love of Cars are certainly inspiring!!!

That's a cracking find and even thou its lost its original motor at least it hasn't had a holden 6 butchered into it.
If it my early 1950 80" looked that good I would have left the body as it and just restored in mechanicaly. Looks like another one saved

Thanks for the comments,I agree at least the 2L 54 motor is a bolt in job and a 2A box is not such a bad thing, more usable and stronger.....

The plan is to get it to be a runner around the farm and go from there. We have had the motor turning however it is missing a few leads for it to run. I believe it was last run in the mid 1990's.

Hi Tomo,

Vehicle: 06107967 as a CKD to Annand and Thompson

Desp in: 14/02/1950
Desp Out: 15/02/1950

You might notice it has pop rivets along the top of all the cappings. Annand and Thompson CKDs early on for some reason really cut alot of corners and used these rivets everywhere.

I've got a vehicle 06106188 (Annand and Thompson) which has the same.

I notice you are missing the orgional gearbox I have a box out of car that was around chassis number 06106500ish which should be perfect as it would have been a freewheel box.

Very interesting! I thought it was too early for CKD. How do you find out such a thing? I was looking on the Gaydon Heritage Motor centre at the heritage certificates services. Pricey!!! Is it worth getting the Technical Specification Package on a Land Rover? It is 85 pounds!
