My Series One
By: strang Date: January 22, 2012, 2:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have owned my series one for about 15 years I think. It is a
1957 2 litre diesel, so one of the first ever diesel engined
Land Rovers. Sadly due to taking up euro-leafing, the old 2
litre diesel is not really practical, so it now has a 200 Tdi
fitted (thanks Andy). Anyway, some snaps - the first two are
prior to me owning it, and were sent to me by a former owner.

Now in my ownership - and an early Piece Hall show

Every year at MOT time the chassis would always need welding, so
since I wanted to keep it, I decided to bite the bullet and buy
a galvy chassis and rebuild it - which took an embarrassingly
long time..... :-[

Finally - after an OLLR ninja squad helped me to rescue a 200
Tdi engine (thanks lads) and Landyandy of this parish fitted it,
the series one was back on the road!

With the 200 Tdi fitted, it was now time to 'euro-leaf' and what
better place to go than Switzerland - after losing its 'ferry
cherry' first!

Really a lovely Series one which I was happy to see live during
our road trip to/in Switzerland. Looks like a beauty strang and
what a sweet engine!

Nope - seems OK without it, and I ran out of space too....
Thanks for the kind comments lads!

yeah i did nt have an intecooler for ages then jammed one in and
it made little difference! what does though is if you put a ton
in the back the engine pulls better than empty......odd :D Nice
series 1 here, really wish i had a galv chassis!
