1955 Series 1 Land Rover.
(Brisbane)
Rodney Walker decided to restore
this vehicle after becoming fascinated by them whilst talking
to previous Jeep owners who had bought new Series 1 Land Rovers
when their old WW2 jeeps wore out on the farm.
Rodney purchased this vehicle
in September 1994 from a lady in Imbil (near Gympie) in
Qld.
The vehicle was a total write-off when he
purchased it, but slowly over two years he restored it to
it's former glory.
You can see some exceptionally clear
photos of various aspects of the restored vehicle on
Rodney's
website. e.g.the interior shown here.
Other aspects of the restoration featured
photographically are:Capstan Winch, PTO and Engine Governor,
Smith's Heater Unit and Lucas Electrical Accessories.
This is the original Smith's
heater unit. Rodney notes that these units are very difficult
to find intact.
The cores within them
tend to rot out and replacement ones are unavailable. These
heater units were offered right up until the late Series 2
Land Rovers. The original early style for the 86" Land Rover
has a pivot in the centre so that the doors can be spun around
to aim the heat up or down, on later versions the doors were
fixed.

Off-road tip
(No.4)
Winches
are expensive, heavy, seldom-used, shorten suspension life and increase
tyre wear.But when you need one - boy do you need one!
