Land rover series 1 can be categorized as classic car. This Landy in particular is already 50 + years old, most of them will already give up the ghost… few survived and we give credit to old car that retain the original parts…
Here is the picture of landy and inside the engine bay… only few is not original, thanks to the previous owner who tried to use original part whenever possible
I think the body and axle are original, The painting is OK, but could be better, Lamps, grill are original… now lets look at the engine bay…This is the pict inside engine bay… pretty much original : The engine is petrol 2.0 liter spread bore, the carburetor is Solex 32 PBI, and radiator is original… not sure about the distributor, but fuel pump definitely non standard… The cables are tidy…A pict from left hand side… anyone can tell what the distributor type and whether it is original fitment.. please write down below..Close up Land rover series 1 distributor.. not sure if this is original… anyone know what type is the distributor..? seems to me is Lucas 45D but not sureFrom the right hand side with air filter off, solex carburettorSeems the previous owner has done some rebuild.. I can see few relatively few fresh read sealer… in the head cover, and in oil sump cover… presumably changing the bearings and piston ringWater heated manifoldExhaust manifold exit… just cut the wing and rivet it… thats original cut.. :DSomehow the front series 1 looks like a skull in pirate logo with bulging eyes… :). additional accessories for the lamp is nice and probably rare… :
Thats all for now, generally I am happy with the originality of the engine… will let you know if it start OK… :) let me know if you have any questions… Cheers
