SER1 Roof rack 107"stw - new Norwegian member

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2006/02/16]

Hi

I'm a new member to this mailing-list. I've just bought my 
first series vehicle ever, and it's a 1957MY 107" station 
wagon LHD. Previously I have owned two Defenders and two 
Discoverys. I live in Lillehammer in Norway, and has only 
a couple of years left before I'm forthy.

My vehicle is in good unrestored original condition. It 
looks to me that it's only the exterior paint and the 
drivers seat trim that is not original.
The outside mirrors is probably not original from 
Sollihull either, but I think they were mounted on all new 
vehicles in Norway before they were sold. Therefore I 
consider them as original, or at least correct period 
accessoir.

Some pictures have recently been uploaded to "the series 
one garage" at msn.

My initial plans for the vehicle is to keep it as an 
ongoing rolling restoration project. First of all a lot of 
TLC to keep it running.

One question:
A local tech-college are villing to make a roof-rack for 
my 107" station wagon. I want to make a replica of an 
original, but I'm unable to find one. Does it exist? If it 
does, I'd be grateful for some pictures etc.!
Otherwise I consider making a replica of a roof-rack I 
have seen on severeal series II. Picture on this link:

By the way a site with fire-vehicles only, and a lot of 
pictures and nice vehicles! :-)
