series 1 landrover

[fazzer]

Anyone own a series one landy,I'm restoring one for my boss,I'm rebuilding chassis at moment but there's not much of it left,and most of the brackets have rotted away.Does anyone local to Birmingham own one that I could possibly take a few measurements long shot I know.Must be between 1949-53.

Land Rover are buying back Series 1 vehicles and restoring them, eventually selling them as factory fresh. Seen it on a newspaper over here. They have actually started re manufacturing parts in support of this.

if it's that bad, wouldn't it be easier to buy a new galv chassis?

[fazzer]

It is that bad,from what I believe they don't make them anymore .The only parts they make are back end ,front irons and outriggers but not chassis.

[fazzer]

I heard landrover were buying up series 1 landys that's probably why they fetching silly money on interweb

[DavidPallister]

well in that case, best of luck

[fazzer]

Thanks mate but I think I'm through the worst of it,also where's the fun in buying when you can restore.

Fazzer I'm in Bournemouth if you still need to see or measure a decent chassis in the flesh.

hi thanks for offer but pretty much on top of it now,only thing I need to know is position of brake master cylinder bracket on chassis ours was hanging on by a thread.
