1953. Coronation, Everest conquered, Mrs B has baby boy etc. Which makes
you guys *young* buggers, if my maths is correct. ;-)

Speaking of which (the year, that is), since I first owned a Landy I have
been on the lookout for a 1953 Series I, preferably November of that year,
to restore. I have this Dorian Gray thing, the Landy on the drive getting
better and better, while I just carry on rusting away and getting more
decrepit as time goes by.

they don't normally. I did have a highish-mileage one that burnt out it's
"A" clutch, such that it would only go backwards.

if anyone wants it, it's still here, free to good home etc. but it'll need a
rebuild.

By far the most common is seals going, followed by shedding
clutchs/bands, although I have seen an auto box which blew with such
force that it split the casing open....

mine just developed clutch slip and then declined to go forwards. I did
contemplate driving it home in reverse, but then decided that was a tad
silly as it was about 8 miles of twisty lanes.

I could find one. It's minus the torque converter too, and hasn't got a
transfer box any more. If you have the other bits and the ability to
rebuild it with new clutches, it was working fine before it ate the clutch.
I suspect it'd had a fairly hard life, the fluid that came out of it when I
got it and changed the fluid was pretty dark.
