Help on Series 1

Hiya,

Im trying to find out the history on my old land rover series 1. it says body type= Mobile plant? what does that mean? also how would i know if my series 1 was in the military? it has military headlights,but i wouldnt know what a military number looks like, if it has one stampped on the car somewhere?

You have a rare one there. Produced by Land Rover The Mobile plant would have had a PTO driven generator/ark welder mounted in the back. There may be some holes for mounting points there.
Some pics would be nice.
Look up the Series One club for more info.

Get a Heritage Certificate form the British Motor Museum (Gaydon). It is on their website.

Looks like a 1950-54 model as head lamps no longer behind grill and side lamps [where your indicators are now] having moved from being on the bulkhead. Only 113 of these mobile plant types were made, Check out Dunsfold Collection for more info.
