THe one I used to drive on a farm had a hand throtle in the middle of the dash as well . The owner was on the army evaluation team and the landy was supposed to have been given to him at the end of the test. It was said it was one of the pre production prototyppes.
Very helpful to a novice like me who happens to own a 1950 Series One (a non-runner ‘under restoration’ since I bought it 28 years ago but now on target to complete in 2020) but has hardly any relevant experience.
@@millomweb Yes, it is back on the road, as from last week - re-registered under the original reg with DVLA after 62 years. Also mot’d for good measure. I’ll only get to see it this weekend when I collect, having missed most of the restoration due to lockdowns.
@@andrewmoore2678 Will you upload a video tour of it when you can ? I do wonder whether garages properly MOT old vehicles - may be worth getting the DVLA to MOT it to check. There is a cunning way to do this - find out from the DVLA if they're going to be testing an MOT tester in your area and arrange for the vehicle to be used as the test vehicle. I think the DVLA will welcome that as your vehicle will test a tester more deeply than a typical car ! Hmm, Land Rovers could be one of the earliest mass production vehicles to be fitted with a disc brake !
Hi I've just bought a series 1 1600 cc rebuild, it's a beautiful vehicle. Are there any books or videos out there on basic mechanics for the layman, for example what to check if I broke down. Maybe a book of the basic knowledge I would need to know ?
@@AndrewClark4MarkRacing I'm pretty sure they weren't compulsory until about the 70s - on NEW vehicles. By then, pretty much all road vehicles being built had them. Older vehicles that never had them do not have to have them retro-fitted.
Good video guys you know you're stuff, did I notice the footwells are pressed not folded ?am I correct in saying this is correct for the era. Many thanks 🏵️
I have serious doubts as to whether they're now required. That's not the usual form of motor vehicle legislation. They could have used red on the rear and white on the front.
Loved the review and happy jolly delivery. What a great vehicle, I’m tempted to buy one...! Thank you.
Not the clearest of audio and not helped by the muzak.
Just bought one 52 80 inch 62 k , impulse purchase new hobby and a bit nervous
Good info , thanks 👍🏻
Excellent mine is a 1951 so similar...👌
Fabulous Land Rover 👍

Hello! Wondering if you will ever do more videos possibly with some driving? Thank you!

Feel you. Same situation like you, i got one about a year ago and man, it is a never ending """""restorarion"""", cheers!
So is it a runner now ?

Good video , not all early series ones had the rubber wing buffers, my Sept 50 ,51 model year certainly has never had them .
Neither mine hence bent in wings...☺️
1:23 Indicators - "you actually need these legally now"
Please quote the legislation that states that, thanks.
Good one mine doesn’t & a ‘51...☝️

Hi there, will be asking some questions for advice if it is not problem
Without me visiting your website, can I request a new page on it listing and detailing the range of accessories you could get for the LR. Thanks.
Rewired the vehicle.
What bright SPARK fitted the petrol pump in among the electrics ?
Looks like the wheel nuts are on the wrong way round 🧐
Music spoils a good video.
Where's the rear number plate light ?
Shame about the indicators. I’d have put flashing brake lights at the rear and something tasteful
