British Motor Museum trip - anyone need any research on their truck?

[Mycroft]

I've been making regular trips to the fount of production records at Gaydon, adding to, filling in gaps and correcting conflicting or erroneous entries in the Club Database of vehicles. I've also been helping new members with factory record queries and now I'm past the main hump of work, thought I'd extend this offer to forum users.

If anyone would like me to look up their sII, IIa, IIb, LWT, 1 Ton etc truck(s), even sIII, please let me know the chassis number(s) and I'll add to the list. Info available from Gaydon includes date of build and despatch, colour it left the factory and first destination - all the stuff that gets incorporated into the Heritage Certificate basically.

Just reply here, send me a Direct Message or email me at [email protected]. Ideally it would be good to add your engine number too, location attached.

Cheers

James could you look up my series 1 80" chassis no R860147

Thanks

Peter

[Mycroft]

Yes indeed Peter, my pleasure. Not that I'm very familiar with Series 1 nomenclature, but I'm theory it should be as straightforward 

[Exile]

Well that is a kind offer, so I would like to take it up.


Chassis Number is: 146901115

Engine Number is:  146901730

(I can give you gearbox and both axle numbers as well, if you want!    )

Cheers Exile - I'd love to have the gearbox and axle numbers if you have those.

Funnily enough, we already have your info, but I'm happy to check it on Friday if you like. I'll send you a message...

Thankyou for your offer, James. When are you visiting Gaydon? I'll be back near my two on Friday.

[Mycroft]

I'll be there first thing Friday morning until they kick me out late pm Simon.

[simonbav]

I'll pm you mine's details asap on Friday. Thankyou. I owe you 

[BigLee]

Love some info on mine. Chassis number 27113487G, it was diesel originally. Registered 1970 but lots of 68 or 69 bits. It is a bit of a bitsa. 

Engine number is not original but it's currently 90167680B. Should be 3mb series 8:1 engine but it ha 7:1 head fitted. 

I dont have any other numbers I'm afraid.

Many thanks for the offer. 

[Mycroft]

Cheers Lee, onto the pile it goes

If you are overwhelmed with requests feel free to drop mine

Thanks again

    Hi James

    Thank you for offering (likely you will be swamped with requests).
  I am going to try and sell my 1969 Nada Dormobile this summer, if you could find me any info that would be great.
  This is what I have so far, into the Landrover factory Sept 3 1968 out of the factory Sept 11 1968. Which I think makes it a 1969 model as they changed tooling on the line at the end of August when all the workers took there summer vacations, the factory closed for a couple of weeks.

Serial # 34300800a Engine 34400051a    Head # 542350  C 1887WYF    Trans #343 08292F    Transfer case 064 HDA3 539783   Front Axle 343 0203 93  Dormobile # 405292.9.626

  Thanks for anything you can do to prove this info is correct.

Cheers Archie,

I reckon your truck was built in late Feb/early March 1969. Will confirm all after my trip.

That's the original engine, I believe, too.

Cheers, James
