 I'm sorry Andrew and all others that like these...um...er vehicles but I'm afraid I have to admit that I see little to get excited about with them compared to a WW2 Dodge WC or a CMP or Ford/Chev MCP or a Wiles Cooker trailer or a mobile laundry or ....(and the list goes on into infinity!)

Thanks for the info guys, I will pass it on.
Cliff, thats a big can of worms in your hand, but I must admit that while owning Series II,III & a Defender over the years I have never been attracted to the Series I. So I find myself quite surprisingly impressed with this one, possibly because of the obvious attention and care that this vehicle has had over the years, generally think of them as being similar to Andrews old one, (not quite sure how that one escaped, as very little seems to LEAVE his yard.) Could be worse, we could be collecting stamps.... Rich

Yes ... There is nothing better than having a piece . . . .  PIECES  of history in your own back yard Rich you should have seen the yard 6 months ago -5 vehicles and a bike have moved on since then . Hopefully 3  Landcruisers will be gone shortly too

Hello Andrew,
With the LR having a fishplate chassis it is no later than 1950. As 51-52 models didnt have a fishplate chassis. And yes you are right it should have headlights behind the grille. but a later series 1 front has been fitted including the guards. the guards it has on it were never fitted on the 80" by the factory. regards Justin.
