Thread: 1954 Royal Review 47160049

Thanks Arthur. You and Wayne are doing as much research as I am.
I hope I can get it finished in time for A.G. to ride in it on one of our SLOw picnik days.

Hi Keith

I keep bumping into these items as I am looking for photo's of early Hydro Land Rovers, not found anything useful yet to help me with my restoration of a 1955 86", as this Land Rover was originally purchased by the H.E.C. ( Hydro Electric Commission, Tasmania ), so I have given it the name HECter.

I've no luck yet with any photo's coming forward and not for the want of trying, see this message I placed on Gumtree.

Hi All
I am looking for copies of any photo's of series one Land Rovers as used by the Hydro Electric Commission, Tasmania during the dam building era 1949 to 1959.
I am hoping to base the restoration of a ex-HEC short wheel base 1955 Land Rover, to it's original fit out of Ladder rack, fuse pull pole and the identification logo's, as used during it's working life with the Hydro.

Nearly finished the box but put it in anyway. Just need to fit output seals I forgot to get last week.

Hi Keith , I sent an email to my brotherinlaw in tasmania to see if he can find anything on the Hydro Landrovers & royal Landrover in Tasmania. He is in Longford & a member of the mens shed they may have some one that worked for the comission . HAY you've got all the good gear. Wayne

And been banned for being a spammer.

Along with estorwigs I would assume.
I dont understand the point of what they do.

My take is that it is a spambot, that trawls the internet looking for forums and then by running a script joins the forum and then adds the spam ads to every area it can find.

I think this script has an error that can't identify the post button and mistakenly uses the thank button to post. Hence lots of thanks but no spam ad posts.
