Norwegian based 1956 Series 1, 86"Land Rover
 |
Ronny Jacobson's 1956 Series
I came to Norway in the year she was manufactured ,and
got her first Norwegian licence plates H-345 on the 14th
January 1956. |
The first owners were the RED-CROSS
in the town of Porsgrunn .
When he and a friend initially collected the
vehicle, they didn't get it home without problems. The lights
gave up after a while,and it was getting dark. But a couple
of metres of cable and a lot of #?&??*% later the lights were
working again.When they were about one mile from his friend's
house the police made their appearance. They didn't seem to
agree with them on what a fantastic car this was. They took
the licence plates and drove off with a grin on their faces.
Ron's plan was to fix her up and then sell
her with a little profit, but he changed his mind!
| The engine runs perfect,the
only thing he did was to make sure it looked as good as
it runs.( this picture is old.) |

The interior is close to original, and Ronny
is going to keep it like it is, except for a few minor changes.
