Hello;=20
We just signed on to the Series One Mailing list. I hope that I'm doing =
this right; here goes!
We are: Jane and Keith Barrett.=20
We live in a rural area of Ontario, Canada; about midway between Toronto =
and Ottawa.
We have some nice older non LR vehicles: a 1950 Ford truck, a 1959 =
Studebaker Lark, a VW cabriolet, some tractors, and some projects.
And we just acquired two Land Rovers; one is a roadworthy 1959 Series =
II.
And the other is a SERIES ONE. We just got it home last weekend. It's a =
1953 with an early 2 Litre IOE. It looks quite rough, but is solid; and =
mostly complete. The frame needs some work, but is basically very solid. =
The tag on the passenger side of the bulkhead identifies it as serial # =
36132887. The number on the engine is 36136049. It's a project, for =
sure. The Ontario plate on it is a 1970. The engine is stuck. It has a =
non original alternator, the carb is a Holley, the oil filler plumbing =
looks a little odd. And, the fuel tank is mounted externally in the rear =
tub. It has some dings, and tears, and both front wings are pranged. =
Lots of fun!!
We intend to tear it right down. The rear crossmember will need some =
attention.Then we'll check out the engine; hopefully no fatal flaws =
there!=20
So, as we tear it apart, and put it back together; we'll be looking for =
advice, leads, and support.
I have some photos; if anyone's curious.
