Cheap series 1 project anyone?

Rather like the look of this as a starter!

Land Rover Series 1, 1957 109" Truckcab, Tax and Mot Exempt ?BARN FIND? | eBay

tis fugly that,same as all series are fugly

I never knew that early series engines dissolved if left standing???

that would be nice project

Oh I used to have one of them, was me daily driver. when I purchased it I drove round to the girlfriends who said "I'm NOT going out in that it's ugly" "Stay at home then" said I and drove of.

missing the dash... that contains some expensive parts.... oh and something else from the front.

Wiltshire one of those modern era bastids hah, you gotta love the series!!!

If you're going to get a series, at least get a S1. If I had the cash to burn then I'd buy it.

My fave of the series has to be the Series 1 107" Station Wagon. They're just awesome - And for those who are none the wiser, here a link to some chaps piccy of one:

Heh that looks so strange. I've never seen a LWB S1 before, not convinced looks wise.

I'm not saying its the best looking thing in the world, but theres just something about em that no other vehicle can even touch. If I was to get a series, thats what i'd get. No doubt about it. But I bet a working 107 wouldn't half be expensive. I love them door frames too

never really been a fan of lwb S1s, but that I do like. when (if) I ever finish rebuilding the lightweight, I've decided an ex military willys jeep is next

My 1964 series is still going strong

My 1997 disco is being broken due to too much rust


I somehow feel the engineering of the 50's and 60's is far superior to that of the 90's.

Don't get me wrong, I was saying there would be less rust if Discos didn't exist. It's obvious to see that engineering standards have declined in recent decades.
