RE: PH Fleet: Series One Land Rover
Discussion
My 1958 series is in pieces in front of the house ( and down the side, and in the shed) waiting on a new bulkhead. luckily the chassis is (now) ok. If the delivery on the bulkhead was quicker, I may even now be tooling to work with the sides rolled up and the doortops off...
As for someones comments on the brakes, when I properly fixed my series 2a brakes, I could lock all 4 wheels - non servo, drum brakes, single leading shoe on the front. Usually though, leaky cylinders and clagged up adjusters render them a bit less efficient.
And another vote for the series one club - you need to find out, and someone there will know.

Ah... fond memories, my first Land Rover was a 86''Series 1 which I transplanted an SD1 3.5 motor into. Great fun!
If it has the original (2.0 L I think) engine you may find it a bit lacking in power - it's adequate to to trundle about in though.
One good thing about owning a vehicle like this - if you ever get jaded with the performance of a fast car drive the Landy for a week or so; when you get back in the M5 (or whatever) it'll feel sensational again!
