109 NADA Registry

[highmile]

One of the guys on another Land Rover forum started a registry of the 500 NAS 110 trucks that were produced. I think they have accounted for about 50 or 60 of the trucks thus far.

I would like to attempt to make a similar registry for the Land Rover 109 NADA (North American Dollar Area) 6 cylinder trucks produced for 1967 since there are only 811. All the NADA trucks should have a VIN# 34300001 thru 34300811. The last 3 digits is the # of your truck within the 811.

[edit Thompson (TSR53/RN Admin - Rovers Magazine Creative / Art Director) will keep a running list on this first posting. Hopefully, this will allow for others to see the list grow].

Thanks Matt!

[greenmeanie]

#160 here.
Now being pulled around (well almost) by a chevy 292.

Matt,
I'd love to see piccies of your engine bay, particularly the radiator. Mine is in need of a lot of clean up and simplification. I may even go down the route of moving the front cross member forward about 1.5 - 2" to give clearance for a BIG radiator and aircon heat exchanger.

I'm also on the lookout for a replacement steering wheel as mine has succumbed to the mysterious melting.

Cheers
Gregor

34300193 here. Currently undergoing a little work.....

[Hormel]

Great idea, I had wondered if there was one out there. My family had one 25 years ago in Chicago, that was later sold to a bar owner up north. Would love to track it down. Unfortunately I have no record of the serial number, just memories of the dents we inflicted as teenagers. Maybe a photo of each as well?

#601

Limestone, martin walter dormobile conversion

Highmile, you need to join the dormobile email list, there are a number of us doing major overhaul on NADA engines. Keith is rebuilding his truck from frame up.

http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Dormobile/emailList.html

[Linus Tremaine]

Sell me your truck....

:)

[Momo]

Could be mistaken but I believe Ben Smith & Dixon Kenner of the LRFAQ have been compiling a NADA Six registry for some time now...I remember seeing a list of known survivors. Or am I thinking of Dormies?

[Linus Tremaine]

I havent seen that list. I know that they have a list of all the NADA trucks produced on the LRFAQ somwhere, but I havent seen a registry of any type.

http://www.lrfaq.org/Series/FAQ.S.chassis_numbering.343.html


Did you ever get a new overdrive for your pick up? Going to make mendo this april?

[highmile]

Thanks guys!

I think I read somewhere online that there used to be a webpage with all the NADA trucks listed and their current condition, but apparently that website no longer exist or has dissappeared from the world wide web. Land Rover FAQ does have a list of all the NADA trucks with the VIN#, build start date, build finish date, and destination of delivery to North America.

Linus - I thought you'd given up on me selling my truck to you, but you didn't let me down. Maybe one day I'll sell you my truck. Let me get through a nice warm tinkering season (spring thru fall) to see how things go with making this truck go again. Where are you located, so I can add it to the registry with #601.

Thanks!

[highmile]

Linus- Were the Martin Walter Dormobile conversion made with 109 6 cylinder NADA trucks?

[jp-]

#387 here, fully restored in 01. Been in the family since 85. Converted to chevy 6 sometime in the early nineties and converted back to the original engine by me.

I also have the chassis off #304, which I can only assume was dismantled for parts.

[O'Brien]

i love that page on lrfaq, as it has allowed me to learn my rover's birthday, when it rolled off the line. what could be more appropriate for a guy named O'Brien, then a rover that came of the line on St. Paddy's day?!

[Linus Tremaine]

Jeremy,
I can think of 3 or 4 NADA dormobiles off the top of my head.

There are probably more but who knows?

I am located in santa cruz ca.

[greenmeanie]

From their web site WCB own #364.

Cheers
Gregor

[highmile]

Linus

Santa Cruz. There was a red NADA on eBay a week in or so ago located in Santa Cruz that supposedly pulled Ted Kennedy's car from the water. Ever heard or seen anything about that truck?

[highmile]

Gregor

I only see #284 on WCB's website. Is there another or did you get your numbers mixed up?

[greenmeanie]

Gregor

Man,
I've got to dtop drinkning at work.

[Linus Tremaine]

Jeremy,
I did go look at that truck..
Its pretty rusty and in sad shape. It was once very nice. The frame has some repairs, all the door frames are rusted out. Bulkhead looks good. Interior looks very good for its age. Paint is shot, engine doesnt run, hydrualics in bad shape (brakes and clutch)

certainly not worth the asking price.

[Dashface]

I have NADA number 536, which was completed on November 25th 1966 I believe.

Still has the orginal paint and interior, both of which are in reasonably good condition - the interior is actually pretty great.

A few things were changed by the previous owner to make it a bit more to their liking as a long-haul truck - it had a larger heater installed, upgraded electronics, a modern tach, overdrive, and a Chevy 250.

At the moment, I'm still struggling to find a rad that will fit. Once that's done, I'll be drivin' her around. For now, I overheat after about fifteen kilometers.

[greenmeanie]

I'm currently working on the radiator thing too. I've got a Chevy 292 in my beastie. Mine is a bit of a kluge of two rads stacked on top of each other and offset to clear the steering relay. There is a rat's nest of hoses connecting all this.

My design so far is:
1. 22W X 18H X ?D radiator offset to the right of the steering relay.
2. I will then mount a 7"W x 12"H X ?D engine oil cooler above the relay. That fills the space nicely.
3. I'll then mount a 14 X 181/2 X ?D aircon heat exchanger in front of the other two.
4. I'm now looking at fans and shrouds. My preference would be to stick with the 18" engine fan and build a fan shroud to help efficiency. If this prooves to be a pain in the posterior then I'll just go with 'lecky fans in a shroud from one of the usual suppliers.

Cheers
Gregor

[S11A]

There are a couple of radiator manufacturers that specialize in custom radiators for racing and other applications. You can specify the core dimensions, number of rows, number of passes, mounts, and end tank style/hose fitting location.

A full custom one might not be cheap, but if I had to guess I would think that they likely already make one close to what you would need that would drop in.

I have a Fluidyne in the track/autox car, and am very happy with the quality, fit, etc. This is on a twin-turbo RX-7 which is pretty tight up front with intercooler and AC stuff in that location too. I think the shop I use found a Fluidyne core that was pretty close to drop-in with some minor mount fabbing and now offers this as a retail item.

This page from the Fluidyne web site has one that seems close to what you are looking for Gregor, although I do not know how the hoses are arranged on the 292:

http://www.fluidyne.com/pl_racing_universal.html

I am guessing one to fit the Chevy ought to be way cheaper than the one for the rotary...

If it was a simple square hole it would be easy. Unfortunately the Chevy engine is longer which drives the radiator up over the front cross member. At this point you have to clear the steering relay which then gives you an envelope something like 29" x 18" but missing a piece out the lower left corner 4" x 7". It makes an odd shape to fit which is why I was looking at the offset radiator and then filling the gap above the relay with an oil cooler.

Now, of course, if I wasn't so lazy I'd just move the front cross member forward about 3" and have a nice big square hole to fill which would make it far too easy.

Cheers
Gregor

[Momo]

Swingkeel... that's a very nice looking truck you have. It's got a great patina and from the photo it appears totally stock. Not so much as a CB antenna hole drilled. What's the history? There are very few original Land Rovers left out there.

More pics please!

[highmile]

Swingkeel

Thanks for posting! Where are you located?

[dporter110]

NADA 079 is alive and well in Woodstock, Ga. The truck was originally marine blue and was last painted in the 70's. I have added a Rovers North full length stainless roof rack and converted the original 6 cyl to a 3.0 liter Mercruiser from Robert Davis. Thanks for starting this list, it's nice to see where a few of the trucks are.
David Porter

[swingkeel]

Thanks Momo. You might recognize me from another board as 67NADA. I am (I think) the 4th owner of this LR. The 3rd owner is a good friend of mine and I knew the 2nd owner. When my friend gave me the truck it had been sitting a while and needed work. My intention was to keep it stock but the engine was frozen up solid. I just couldn't see replacing it with the LR six, since I have never been a fan of them for a variety of reasons. We (my son and I) installed a RD 3.0 Mercruiser, which is another story in itself. The only other non-stock thing is the master cylinder and power unit as used on the series 3 trucks.
I will dig up some more photos as this 109 had some interesting dealer installed options that I have never seen before.

highmile, I am in Baltimore Maryland, the radiator comment was meant to be a little joke, oh well!

All the best, Michael

[swingkeel]

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n64/67NADA/winch.jpg

Here are a couple of the items that I was talking about: Lucas fog and driving lamps and a manual winch. There are others as well, I will see if I don't have some more pictures. Even back in the sixties dealers were looking for ways to skim some more money out of the deal!

Michael

[LaneRover]

Damn! I guess that you would have to decide which was more work, digging out or working that winch!

Brent

[highmile]

Swingkeel

I figured that had to be some sort of joke, but hey, maybe it is the only original item left from the original truck?

[Dashface]

Thanks for posting. Where are you located?

Victoria, BC.

If it's not terribly rude, I'm going to throw in three more pics - mostly for O'Brien's benefit. He's been wanting to see the interior of my truck for a long time, but I keep forgetting to send him the pictures :thumb-up:

#34300768 Located in Arkansas. Carawagon "Continental" Conversion.

Pretty good stock original condition, with the exception of some missing Carawagon conversion parts.

Originally sold in Toronto, Canada to a commercial fisherman , who was living in New Jersey, when he sold it to:

Michael D'Amico, Buxton, North Carolina Outer Banks area, was the second owner, and was who removed a bunch of the camper "stuff" He kept it for several years, but the next owner never "claimed it".

Keith Klemmer, Lt Col. AR National Guard purchased it in February 2001, and drove it without incident from Kitty Hawk, NC to Russellville, AR. The heater valve was clogged, "hence the trip over the Appalachians in February was a bit on the memorable side."

The fourth owner, William Mitchell, North Little Rock, AR only had it a couple of months before he bailed out.

I am the fifth owner. Purchased it in October 2006 I have added a Roverdrive, and replaced the head gasket. I added a step on the passenger side, I have also replaced various other miscellaneous parts.

[KHiller]

I have recently inherited 34300021A from the original owner, Harry. Harry past away in November and thought I would be good for the old Rover. He loved the Land Rover and talked about it often. I never saw it until I owned it. Harry put 66k miles on it and kept it in the garage for the last 25+ years of it's life. It needs some work, but mainly just seals and minor maintenance. After a tuneup, carb kit and some fuel lines replaced, it's up and running very well. The Rover now resides in Denver, CO. I'm not sure if I have the space to hang on to it with the care it needs (Garage space).
I could use advice on typical maintenance issues and value if someone's willing to help a Rover newbe.
I normally drive a well modified Tacoma in the hills, but don't hold that against me. It gets me there when most others can't. I'm kinda hard on trucks, so I'm afraid of hurting the Rover. Is this normal? Just how tough are they?

Kevin Hiller

[highmile]

Kevin

Welcome to the world of Series Land Rovers. I have added your truck to the registry. I am sure others can and will chime in with any maintenance suggestions.

Good luck and enjoy!

[KHiller]

Thanks Jeremy. I read your article in The Rovers North News. You did a very nice job aquiring your Series, and writing the article. Hope to see you around in the hills someday.

[KHiller]

More pics and info on #021.
I'm not a Rover expert as I've only recently obtained this one, but I'm guessing it's >98% factory original, right down to the spare tires. It does have an aftermarket replacement coil, an aftermarket gauge set (oil pressure, water temp, amps) installed on the steering column, a small compass is mounted on the dash, and a fire extinguisher is mounted on the roof. Other than that, this Rover is all original and in exceptionally good condition. Just how rare is this? The way Harry always talked, this is pretty much the norm for Series Rovers, but I'm not getting that impression in the posts.

[Linus Tremaine]

that is a pretty early truck. It has alot of lights on it (roof and fenders) that are not original. Also, someone has cut off half of the original air filter intake system attatched a hose to the opposite end and converted it from the original style air filter to the 2.25 litre version. It looks like they had to relocate the voltage regulator to do that.

There seems to also be an added fuse block on the drivers side. Did you inherit a muffler looking thingy with the truck? That would have been the original air filter housing. Looks like a nice truck though. Very clean original paint! I wish someone would leave me a truck that nice. Of course, its always better when they are still around to enjoy it with you.
Here are the details from the lrfaq for your truck:
D 20 34300021 31 Mar 1966 21 Apr 1966 Light Green Rover, Chicago

Hey guys!

Thompson (aka TSR53) has been gracious enough to create a NADA Registry logo for us 1967 NADA 109 guys. What do you think?

It looks like he is willing to make one for each vehicle # if you are interested. I have added mine as part of my signature.

Enjoy!

[TSR53]

awesome, i'm in. my # is 2 gimme gimme gimme :D
Yes, yes, yes... settle your jets :rolleyes:. I'll be able to start numbering them tomorrow and starting with #002. I've got to make a few adjustments first.

[Linus Tremaine]

This. Is. Amazing.

Ill take one for sure.

Can they be made into stickers?

[Linus Tremaine]

Does anyone know what the piece below the fuel filler is? Some kind of over fill baffle to keep spills from running down the side?

[giorgio]

It looks like a step plate off of a boat to me. Protection for scratches from the gas nozzle?? Was the gas cap on a keeper strap? I don't know!?!

I would like one of the registry logos as well, but I think that mine is a 1968.

Thanks!!

so awesome, thanks!!!

Ill take one for sure.

Can they be made into stickers?
Yes, for our Santa Cruz Mountain boys (and everyone else) you bet :thumb-up: I'll work on stickers.

ps... I'm kinda partial to Linus' area - grew up in Saratoga, CA. Learned the 4WD ropes amoungst the Madrone, Oak and Manzanita of the Sanborn Park fire roads. Red dirt, red mud, super steep gnarly rutted mud-slide wheelin'.

Come visit some time. We can do it again!


Thanks for the work you put into our logos.


Also, is there any way to convince RN to carry some engine parts for us? I wrote a letter to you guys about it but didnt hear back. I sent is snail mail so maybe its on a train or horse coming back as we speak...

Anyway, its a rover P4 110 sedan engine witht he suffix B weslake head. Parts can easily be had from rover parts suppliers in england but no one stocks any of it here. It would be great if you just had some simple things like a water pump, distributor drive shaft, valve cover gasket...
Some of the basic wear items that we could order in a pinch.

[giorgio]

pardon my ignorance, but how do I add this to my signature line?

it seems to want a website, do I need to copy it to a website, then link to it?

thanks,

[TSR53]

1. Go to your numbered listing above and right click on the linked "signature logo".
2. This brings up a drop down menu.
3. Choose "Copy Link Location".
4. Then, go up on the top brown bar on the forum (to the upper left) and click on "User CP".
5. Choose "Edit Signature" from the top of the list on the left side.
6. In the Edit Signature box, click on the little https://www.roversnorth.com/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif and then right click and "paste" from step #3.

That should do it.

That's a new frame from our hosts. The original was Swiss cheeze and rust scale. In some places the paint was the only thing holding the rust in place.

Is it ok to call this NADA and refer to the lights as NADA? I feel like this person should change their listing as this isnt really an NADA.

[Linus Tremaine]

All,
I took my dormobile on a great run this past weekend. My new water pump started leaking really badly just as the old one did. My fluffed up head has performed great. The engine is running smooth as ever. I did a few water crossings, a bit of mud and lots and lots of dust. There were seven series trucks, me being the only 109 wagon. There was a 109 pick up and 5 88s.

The 109 pick up was rolled on its side with minor fender damage but some more serious bulkhead damage. Luckily, the pick up top was off and was not damaged, nor was the driver! We had to winch it over from the next level of the road. It was a switch back at this point and I had to haul the winch line through about 150 feet of brush.

[Blueboy]

Why do people get to call their trucks NADA when they arent?

perhaps as a marketing method to gain more interest in the vehicle he has for sale?

NADA does stand for North American Dollar Area of which a 1964 Series IIa was available in NA.

I don't think NADA was only associated with the unique 109 SWs sold in 1967.

not a bad looking Rover though.

hi ya'll. just joined at the advice of HighMile (hi Jeremy). i have a SW, not sure of the VIN...will look that up when i get home, but i did want to ask for those with experience on brakes to PM me. i started the process of refurbishing my truck a couple of years ago. i found it on the TLR forum, i think, anyway it was way up in Oklahoma. i bought it and had it shipped down to Texas and i've been working on it since. i've done all the suspension, and most of the brake work. but it seems that i've crossed wires somehow and the lines don't match up to the Master cylinders. any help is appreciated. i've got Jeremy checking the diameters of the in and out lines on his truck, but he has some updates that may mean a difference. i haven't done searches on this forum yet, and i will, but i thought i might cast a net to see who knows what...

34300078A
Roswell, Georgia
Restoration in progress.

She was parked in Hancock, NY, on a hunting lodge in a carport for 15 yrs (don't know how long she was there in total) when her usefulness was replaced by the arrival of ATV's. Before then, she used to be a support / tow vehicle for a Bultaco off-road motorcycle racing team in NY. She was brought down here 3 years ago. Then my son was born, and now daughter is due in another month or so.

She had been resprayed in red, but limestone is what she was originally and what she'll be again someday.

Right now, she's all in pieces, down to the frame and axles. :(

There are hundreds of pictures of her at http://kuhtz.com/gallery2/main.php/v/roverisms/1967109nadasw/ where I attempted to keep a photographic diary and inventory. Hopefully this will help with the giant reassembly puzzle.

[giorgio]

I honestly do not think that mine had a body color roof when new. I see no signs of a complete repaint job, just touch up here and there.

[Momo]

could be a replacement roof, could be a special order, there are exceptions to the rule. If you look at factory photos, brochures and magazines etc you'll see body color roofs.

georgio is yours white with white sheet or limestone with white sheet?

[giorgio]

I would say that it is white with white sheet. They are definitely the same color, but I might have thought that it was limestone until you asked the question, and I guess it is white.

Only you can answer that question as you have to decide what role the truck is to preform, how well it does it and how much money you want to spend.

Unfortunately, contrary to what e-bay would have you believe, these trucks are not rare gold mines so you won't be afecting its value much either way. My personal view is that if it is still pretty stock then it should stay near stock. That is why, when I decided I wanted to build a modified truck to suit my needs I went out to find one that had already been altered away from stock. I don't feel bad about altering it further now.

Cheers

#34300083A is in Pinehurst, NC

purchased last year from a guy in NC, who I believe purchased it from a Series Rover shop in Asheville, NC, who I believe purchased it from an older gentleman in Atlanta, GA. That's all the history I have on it so far. I have some resto pictures from one of the previous owners where it was stripped down to the frame. If anyone owned it in the past, please let me know - I would love to know more of its history.

[highmile]

Life is keeping me busy! Business travel, family vacations, and the slowing economy are all putting a damper on working on the truck. I have not tinkered on the truck since I last had the slow/weak starter issues. Still don't know if it is a bad connection somewhere on the starter or just a bad starter at this point. Haven't had the time yet. Maybe one day, but it will probably be cold by that time anyway.

It is under going a chassis up restoration. I am located in Ontario, Canada

Mark

[S11A]

Hi,

I have seen several people say they have 2.25l engines i theirs, but I thought the definition of a NADA truck was that it came with the 6 cyclinder (as opposed to any sort of original North America truck) (as opposed to the imported MoD and other country ones that seem pretty common).

I didn't see the definition above but we are up to 12 pages on this thread so I may have missed it...

Thanks in advance for the enlightenment.

[superstator]

Mine is a 2.25d, but it's obviously a swap - the old motor mounts are still there. Mark, does yours have mounts for the 2.6, or maybe just nubs on the frame where they were ground off?

[Blueboy]

Thanks in advance for the enlightenment

this will shed some light on the beasts.

from East Coast Rover site:

"In 1967 a limited production of 811 NADA (North America Dollar Area) 109 Safari Station Wagons were shipped to the U.S. These were the standard 109 5 door Safari Wagons, but they had a modified version of the 2.6 liter, 6 cylinder engine. The engine used a Westlake cylinder head and some other equipment to try and win back customers who complained of the lack of power from the 2.25 liter, 77 bhp, 4 cylinder in the over 3900 pound vehicle. The NADA 109's can be told from other 109 Safari Wagons in many ways. The NADA wagons had dual heated windscreens (like a rear window defroster, but encased in the windshield glass), the uniquely modified 6 cylinder engine, dash parts that were covered in textured plastic, not painted as usual, and they all have serial numbers that start with 343. This now rare version failed to jump start the slow sales of 109's, and it could not compete with the cheaper, faster, and more reliable U.S. built trucks of the time. Land-Rover stopped importing the 109 completely in 1967."

Thanks for the calrification. So the ones with the 2.25l are "regular North American imports" (or ex-MoDs or other original foreign country vehicles brought over later). Only the 6-cylinder trucks (with other specs as pointed out by Blueboy) are NADA.

Mine is an original US import, but not NADA.

Or, an engine swap.

My 88" '72 SIII is like yours, a 'NADA' vehicle, in that it was built intended to be an export to the US. But no, it is not what is referred to when most people refer to a NADA Rover.... just the '67 2.6L 6-cyl 109 SW's for the US. Be aware: here is a 6-cyl that was available elsewhere, in the UK, Europe, etc., but it isn't the NADA 6-cyl, has a different head, could be RHD, etc.

I would be curious to know more about your Carawagon Conversion project. I believe that I have the only NADA 2.6L Carawagon ever shipped to the US. It has had much of the original Carawagon pieces removed, seats, cabinets, etc. They were supposedly stored for years in a mini storage on the East Coast somewhere. If I should ever want to re-convert it back to a camper I would enjoy seeing photos of your project.

[TSR53]

Geoff, Welcome to the forum! Yes, keep us posted on your 109, looks nice. These guys eat up info, more photos please...

ps... YSI logo on the door, thought that looked familiar! One of my first jobs was working at the sailing center in Los Gatos, Ca at Vasona Lake.

[gotsloco]

I purchased the truck from YSI (Youth Science Institute) in 1987(corrected date).

The history that I know of: Sold By San Jose British Motor Cars new. It was used for several ears then parked up on a hillside in the Los Gatos area. Donated to YSI in about 1984. It was used on a trip to Joshua Tree and broke a half shaft and damaged the rear differential. Driven back to Los Gatos on the front diff. I was riding my bicycle through Vasona Park in the summer of 85’ and noticed it sitting there. I believe I left a note on the truck enquiring about it. Shortly there after I received a call at work up in Chico wondering what I might know about getting it repaired. My suggestion was to take it to West Coast British in Dublin. They called Mike, and then called me back to see if I knew of a means of getting it up to his shop. The next weekend I headed home to Los Gatos with the tow bar and tow bar bumper off my 62’ 109 PU in the back of my F250. Sunday morning I flat towed the truck up to Mike’s shop where he did the work to get it running again. I stopped by YSI a couple of times to see how the truck was holding up over the next year or so. In August or September of 87’ I received a call that YSI wanted to sell the truck and wonder how much it might be worth. I told them what I thought it was worth. They asked me if I wanted to purchase it and I purchased it. I believe I was aware there was a problem with getting it to start. Turned out a bigger problem than I had thought it was. The float was cracked and the electric fuel pump had filled the cylinders with a mixture of fuel and water, thus the need for a hammer to separate the cylinders from the block. The truck only has about 43,000 miles on the odometer. The paint is dead but the body is straight. I have not done much to the truck except use it as parts storage for the spares I have accumulated.

Nice looking engine. I would like to find power steering brackets for the two 292's and the 250 I have here. I have not decided if I am going to upgrade the manifolds or not. The 101 has first priority. My 101 also has the Winch.

I currently have three Land-Rovers running and many more that should run at some point. I am just getting back to working on them after years of parent watching and working in the Santa Clara Valley without shop space. The one car garage had my 58' Buick Century Convertible in it. I did get some Land-Rover work accomplished. I aided Drive Around the World on both trip with Land-Rovers and produced the drawing required to produce the flotation hoops for Nick Baggerly's APGP. And pick up outstanding deals like my 101.

Hopefully in a couple of years I can add the 67' to my list of running vehicles.

I am the owner of 34300302. It's had a conversion to a Chevy 250, which I plan to keep. The truck is non-running and needs a frame up, but is generally in good condition, corrosion-wise. Located in Portland, OR.

Ken spotted the truck on LRX in November of 2004 and when he described the ad to me, and asked if I know of a tan 67’ 109 wagon with a Chevy six in Boulder Creek. I commented it was Gene Lytle’s and that I had not seen the truck since about 93’ at the British Car Meet in Palo Alto. Ken was the first person to contact Gene, and I contacted him shortly there after to see about looking the truck over. Not too bad for sitting for eight years under a redwood tree. I agreed to buy it for Ken but it would be a couple of weeks before I could get back up with my car trailer. The images you see were taken after Gene and I loaded it onto my car trailer in December 2004. In March of 2005 I pulled the trailer up to Snohomish where Ken was living. I also got to move it back to Portland when he was transferred.

I had had some contact with this truck on several trips out to the Black Rock with him in the late 80’s and early 90’s. If you have any issues of the Aluminum Workhorse around I believe you will find mention of our trips. Gene had done the Scotty’s conversion at Scotty’s shop some years before. It had also been up graded with a series III transmission. I can recall one lunch break we took out on the playa. When we were to leave he decided to let Samson, age Twelve I recall, try his hand at driving. The clutch is a terrible thing. It takes some practice, and since this was his first attempt. We ended up having a training experience in how to change a half shaft. It was a good trip, I believe my 88 got stuck just North of the hot springs at the base of the Black Rock on the way to the high dry lakes.

I ended up using an old set of brackets from a 250 and reworking them. I needed a new mount for the CS144 alternator and then ended up doing a lot of cutting and welding to make the power steering pump mount work. I'm adding an aircon compressor on the far side too. If I have one criticism of the Chevy L6 it is the minimalist approach to mounting holes for ancilliary brackets.

As well as manifolds I have raised the compression to a little above 9:1, a reworked head with 1.84I and 1.6E valves and lump port intakes, a comp cams 260H cam, HEI for spark and TBI for dueling. The spark and fuel will be run from a Megasquirt. It should push the old bus along quite nicely.

What needs done on the 101?

[Linus Tremaine]

All,
I heard recently that scotty passed away last year. I never knew him but I have heard many stories.

Anyone have some good ones to share?

Also, I ran into gene about a year ago. He still has an 88 sitting under that redwood tree but its not for sale! At least those were the first words out of his mouth when I rolled up in my 109. He warmed up a little when I told him I didnt want to buy it but just to say hi. I bet its still rotting under that tree.

I first saw his truck in about 2003. I remember seeing two 109s I think.


On a side note, Geoff, did you ever know Reed Cotton from bonny doon with a 109 or a guy from Watsonville with an 88 whose name was Ray Yates?

[superstator]

All the activity in this thread got me inspired to chime in. #413, with quite a checkered history. I know it's lived as far south as Panama, and as far North as Alaska, spent many years on the east coast, and has most recently bounced between a number of PNW folks. Along the way it's picked up a 2.25 diesel, some badly welded replacement frame horns, a Toyota FJ alternator/vacuum pump combo, Santana brake cylinder, and several coats of flaking white paint over the original green.

Since I've taken it on it's had new swivel balls and front hubs, new steering box, new alternator (another Toyota), and most recently a new universal harness & misc electrical goodies. Still to go: new heated windscreens, wiper motor, and new Fairey OD. And a little further down the road the diesel will be getting a top end rebuild at a minimum, along with a new exhaust. Eventually it'll either get a total rebuild, or replaced with a 2.5d or 200di. Parabolics are on that list someplace too, along with a lot of body work and paint someday...

One of it's brief windows of running reliably was during our big December snowstorm here in Portland, just before the biodiesel I had in the tank at the time completely gelled:

[gotsloco]

With response to who I might have met since I first purchased my 88 in 1983. I have met a lot of people over the years. Reed Cotton sounds familiar but Ray Yates no, and I am not sure what the context was for Reed Cotton. Although I grew up in Los Gatos I never spent a lot of time there with a running Land-Rover that I would drive any distance. Driving back and forth to Salinas, Chico, SLO, and Vacaville in the 88 or Range Rover, yes.

I had heard that Scotty was not overly healthy about a year and a half ago at the last British Car Meet in Palo Alto. He was a character.

For good stories one might get Eric McKay(sp?) or Brad Blevins to enlighten us.

As for My 101 Lets start out by getting and engine in it. I purchased this truck from Tom Walsh. Ben Smith was driving to Mendo in 2000 when it threw a rod. I purchased it minus engine. Two years ago Rich Brengman decided to get out of Land-Rovers and sold me a 101 engine and Transmission he had picked up at some point. They are in my garage. For those of you not familiar with a 101 it is tall and the engine goes in through the top. I needed to build an ‘A frame’ crane to lift the engine into the truck. The truck needs complete rewiring, what land rover of that vintage doesn’t. I took out the seats of dubious origin (Japanese mini van?) and need to fit Deluxe Series seats. I need to get a new canvas on order. There are also some miscellaneous small parts I need to order from the Club – 101 specific. I have installed a Pertronix ignition in the distributor. I also want to build an alternator bracket to accept a Delcotron 10S1. Change out all the water pump parts for late V8 ones. Something about an old plastic fan and the best way to change it is to change out from the water pump forward inclusive. This truck is also a bit different as it has Maxi-drives front and rear, and that plumbing needs to be addressed. Most of this was to happen this fall but a red 110 station wagon was a deal not to be passed up, but I can say welding on a new outrigger, repairing the frame behind that and drivers footwell has taken a while. An exhaust leak and bushings are next. Projects, Projects, Projects. And a couple of Steam Locomotives that need some attention.

With regard to mounting points on the Chevy I6 engines what points. I have seen a couple of different mounting configurations for adding a power steering pump. I have one comment, hokey. I am not sure I can come up with anything better. Not much to work with. A 6AT it is not. The Air cleaner problem is another area that I will need to work on. The Air Cleaner you have shown is fine for the street but I would not want to see it out on the playa or on any logging road. My thoughts have been a Donaldson, probably an FHG series or maybe an FWA Series. I am just not sure where it will fit. I need to work on the truck. My 88 was the proto-type truck for the Pierce two barrel manifold conversion and one of the reasons I changed that to a 34ICH was the tiny K&N filter that plugged on one trip across the Playa. The standard Land-Rover oil bath and the 34ICH is fine with me for a 2.25, but not good for a 250 or a 292. When I am up at Ken's next I should look at the layout again.

How many are still using the Berg power brake setup? Not that I was planning that route but I am curious.

Geoff

[greenmeanie]

That all sounds familiar on a 101. I pulled the engine and gearbox out mine using the standard cherry picker as I have no way of using an A-frame in my residential garage. Letting air out of the tyres and taking the side panels off it just fit and was really a two man job with a lot of verbal lubrication.

Make sure you go through the radiator thoroughly as these trucks tend to run hot at anything above 50mph when the weather gets anything above about 80°.

I also have the Delco 10SI and just completely rewired the beastie with a Painless kit as the original harness had a melt down behind the instrument panel. I moved the fuse panel up into the battery box as I was really tired of the contortions required to get at the original for what little use it was. On ignition I have been running a Newtronics (UK company) optical trigger but am now converting her over to HEI.

I even need a new canvas too. I tried to obtain one from Undercover Covers in the UK but their customer service sucks and I could never actually place an order because the sales guy was always too busy. Now it is down to a choice between Exmoor or All Wheel Trim.

I got revved up to do the deluxe seats in my truck but they are thicker than the OEM ones and I just couldn’t get my legs under the steering wheel any more and I’m not a chubby bloke.

Same truck, same issues. Funny that.

On the Chevy L6 even the few holes there are seem to conflict with the water pump hoses, the belts and the manifold which limits what you can do with brackets. With my limited fab kit and the space constraints of having a bigger alternator and a power steering box to deal with those are the best brackets I could come away with. They work well and everything is mounted rigidly. If you don’t like the PS pump mount wait till you see what happens with the aircon compressor mounts.

That air filter was what came on the truck when I got it. It’s on there right now mainly as it is the easiest way to cap the intake while I run the grinder. My preference would be to run a CAT type cyclonic filter but that is something that can wait until I have the truck in a more complete state. It doesn't worry me too much as the 101 also runs a paper filter and pulls air from directly behind the front wheel. I inspect it as part of the general maintenance at oil changes and it does just fine with all the dust we have here.

[gotsloco]

Yes, most 101’s have the same problems. Leg room being the first, but that was designed in at the start.

I have rewired more than one vehicle and helped design more than one vehicle from the ground up, although I usually did the crawler tracks and jacking columns at work. My activity at Cal Poly was building the float for the Tournament of Roses. A ground up redesign about ever year.

My neighbors are tolerant, we had the front half of “Hard Rock”(1980) in my driveway for the after banquet party and for about a month after waiting to get clearance from SLO PD to drive back to Campus. We ran animation for about forty-five minutes at midnight for the party. I have had numerous project vehicles in the driveway since. No CC&R’s and no neighbor directly across the street looking directly at my driveway helps too. But I need to get my shop and house built out of town. If you are close enough you can bother your neighbors, they are too close.

The CAT Cyclonic you refer to, is probably made by Donaldson. My D4-5T and my J-D 610 both have Donaldson filters although the D4 has two oil bath (Pony & Main) and 610 is paper element. I have not been able to find a Donaldson cross for the 101 element or was it the cost was .. That is one of the parts I need to get from the Club. Paper elements are fine, but you need one with enough area for the conditions and by all means a cyclonic separator with vacuator valve.

As for my “A frame” crane, it is adjustable height. Lowered it can clear the 7’ opening to go inside my garage and raised it is about ten feet with one foot adjustments between.

I have seen how the A/C units have been mounted. You don’t get to use the HEI coil in cap distributor. I lived in Chico for two summers without A/C. 110°f for three weeks is doable even the day it hit 121°f. Ok it was warm. A tropical roof is a good thing. I am not sure if I want to add A/C to my wagon project. Time will tell.

A 101 club member - Steve the club chairman is coming out to AZ in September. He wants to visit while he's here. I think he's pissed that I let my membership lapse. Nice guy though.

I used to be a designer on excavators for CAT back at the plant in Desford in England. That was a fun job but just in the wrong place. We had a really cool old D6 that was all cable operated as a gate guardian. I think health and safety prevented them from running it. The plant was also handled the parts storage and logistics for Land Rover. On the other side of a chain link fenced wall we had all the parts you could ever imagine for Land Rovers and I remember drooling over the NAS spec parts at the time.

I've been in the desert for 10 years now and while I can get by in the heat I don't like it and it's no fun with two young kids and the wife on board too. When the monsoon hots down here and the humidity goes through the roof with the heat the trop top is pretty useless. This will be my DD and my wife's one condition for purchase was it must have aircon. The same unit will also provide an improved heater so it is a win all round for when I finally get to move away from HOA hell to somewhere with a civilised climate.

[TSR53]

Greetings, welcome to the registry. I've added #479 to the list on the first page.

[Crocuta]

Hello all!
I have owned a NADA 6 cyl 109 station wagon since about 2000 or so when I picked it up from a man in Pocahontas Arkansas who didn't know what he had and at the time I didn't know it was that special. The previous owner from him had chopped the body up to make it into a pickup body so they had sawzalled the back of the roof and roof sides and sheet metal screwed them to the back of the pillar behind the driver door.
Once I got it home I was calling Rovers North for parts and they told me it was not your average Rover. Since then I have slowly searched out all the body parts I needed to get the body back to the Station Wagon it should have been.
It is currently not running and still resides at my Mom's house in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. I live in Fremont, CA and have not brought it out because I always kept thinking I was going to move again but 8 years later and I have yet to move so soon it will be brought out and I'll continue restoration.

Long story short, currently awaiting restoration in Pine Bluff, AR
It has a vin # of 231A
Is there any significance of the A?

Back home I also have extensive records on it from first sale to a Forest Service worker up in Washington state up until the 80s when it made it to Okalahoma and then no records till the man in north Arkansas got it.
I've yet to see what the Rover factory has to say about it.
When I get the records out here I can post its history outline if anyone might be interested.

Amusing thing was that the frame bits that stick out to the sides were packed with dirt. I dug it all out and as I did my Mom who is a geologist said the dirt was volcanic and there wasn't any soil like that anywhere in the midwest. Later that night I dug through the records and found out it was in the pacific north west. I always find it interesting the traces left within the vehicle that tell of it's own past.

Sorry for the long winded first post!

Hello Thompson,
I will post info as soon as I find more out on it.
I used to have a website up on it but it has been down for a while. I had better pics there.
Here are a few pics of my truck when I came back home to bring the last load of body parts I picked up in Vermont.
The parts that you see which are seafoam green (actually Krylon Jade Green Satin) are the only original body panels I had. The camo parts are what I bought off of a guy in Vermont.

Also forgive me if I am breaking forum etiquette by not posting the pics behind a cut or something. Just let me know if I need to change it in any way.

Did you just buy that thing? Last time I saw it it looked.. like crud. Its a beauty now!

[TCapelle]

Thanks Linus

I did buy it from Matt out in CA about 4-5 months ago..

I redid/swapped some interior elephant hide from project truck, redid some of the electrical stuff, added the pangolin bumper and have been working on the "coach paint" job and carawagon roof conversion.

The roof has been quite a labor of love but it is finally in the last stages of completion.

There are still some things that need to be done like brake work, maybe some exhaust work, need to add in the carawagon modified furniture and extra bunk.....

So hopefully there will be some time to take her out camping this spring and summer!

I will try to post some more photos once nearly complete!

It appears that my NADA 6 was originally equipped with a Koenig Model LR621 PTO winch. I was wondering how many others have them. Does your NADA 6 have one of the following Koenig winches installed?
LR-591 Crank Driven Winch

Getting ready to be completely redone. May need some advice.
Body is lifted now as I type..

Frame is shot, not sure the condition of the engine. Thinking of going coil on 110 frame with 4.0 and auto......Am I crazy not to go original-ish?

[Blueboy]

Am I crazy not to go original-ish?

for me, the decision was based on how we planned to use the vehicle.

Blueboy has been across the US 3 times, used for camping, off-highway, and numerous other chores on our farm.

the drivetrain is a copy of a '93 US 110 which has it's + and -, yet, for the most part +.

rest of the Rover is '67 IIa.

after having a 110 with a 300tdi in Brasil, I'd probably go for a diesel vs gas although that has + and - as well.

if you haven't already, check out TeriAnne's site for some good info:
http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/

Jaime

[bryantate]

Thanks. Did you go coil? Need some guidance here, my bulkhead is good. Frame is rusted beyond repair, engine is reported to run.
I am getting a 110 frame with it. Was thinking I would get a 99 disco and move it to 110 frame. Move body onto 110 frame. I read somewhere that the v8 wouldn't fit into the straight 6 bulkhead. Wondering how much modification it would take to fit the v8. A little trimming and metal work or lots? Then will the breakfast still fit with some mods? Today i Started thinking of going original. I'm not sure what frame to get. Are there any covetted pieces that I should make sure I have before starting a restoration?

[Blueboy]

yes - coil.

I "cheated" and had someone else do the work for me while I was living in Japan:

http://www.eastcoastrover.com/Thompson109.html

this will give you some ideas.

[bryantate]

I have seen that build, nice.
That was one of the trucks that got my wheels spinning.
So you are on a 110 frame? I ask because I am curious if the rearwheel position change much. Thanks again

[Blueboy]

thx and yes, it is a 110 frame

rear wheel position is slightly ahead (closer to the front) than I think is 100% although you can't really notice it.

let me know if you have any other questions on which I can help.

Jaime

[Blueboy]

Jaime

[bryantate]

well I was investigating going with a new 109 frame. Called Richards, Marsland and designa and none are making 109 frames. (unless I misunderstood them) They said they had no demand.

So I guess I am using the 110 frame I found locally.

Anyone have a few shots of a poppy red '67. That was my original color and thinking I will go back to that

Anyone going to need a Nada rolling chassis with the original engine in place???? What's a fair price to ask?
Update:Richards does still make 109 chassis, I was mistaken....

Greetings from sunny Florida.
I too, have been bitten, and alas, there seems to be no cure! This is my fourth Rover and the most challenging. The first one was a Jan. '71-88 SW purchased in '82. When starter went south started looking for local parts and found a Feb. '71 88 SW at the local yard which had been totaled by Allstate (submerged in local river-- : - [ ) and purchased starter and all. Then a friend at work said he had an old Land Rover for sale. Went to look and found a '65 88 SW and had to have that one too (Came with original manuals--Good find). Kept them for many years until two brothers wore me down and I sold all three. Then without a Rover for about 3 years till a friend? at work told me he had seen an old Land Rover close by. Went to look--then took the wife and children--then made a deal --and fell for it again. This time I found out I had something different. A 109 NADA # 34300044. Then the fun began--Learning from scratch that everyone doesn't know everything about my latest acquisition, but some know some things--so I started compiling the list of peculiarities. I've had "Bodger" for 8 years and still going strong. It has the original engine #34300054 and I rebuilt it the first year after a six month search for parts and pieces (new/old set of .30 over pistons, etc.). Just recently have added a Mile Marker 12K winch with brush bar/winch plate assy(a good friend made the unit for me). The progression of NADA Knowledge has been challenging -- ranging from frustration to elation. If I knew then what I know now I'd still have to have it. It's been a great daily driver and I'll probably keep it for quite a while to come. More on the rebuild progression later. Thanks for letting me in.

Here are some pics of the truck. Unfortunately I still haven't taken delivery of it, as it is having a brake line repaired in Fairbanks, but I should have it next weekend, and I'll be able to take a lot more pictures then. This truck will be up for sale after I get it and can get it cleaned up a bit. If anyone is interested please let me know...I know Alaska is a long ways, but I was highly impressed at the condition and originality of this truck when I saw it, and I believe it would make a fantastic addition for someone. Right now it's just REALLY dirty. It also comes with a second 6cyl engine, as well as the original aircleaner and many other parts. Anyways, onto the pics...

Greetings,

I recently acquired NADA #33. The LR had been sitting for the past 23 years in a parking garage. Everything looks to be intact. No rust issues, just some rather unsightly dents here and there. Appears to be all original, 2.6L Rover 6-cyl still in place. Not running but it does turn over freely with the hand crank. I suspect problems with the valves/head because I found it with the spark plugs removed and based on everything I have read.

I am looking forward to the cleanup, compression test and seeing what it will take to run again. My plan is to make it run, fix the leaks, get it turn key while keeping it as original as possible, with the exception of new tubeless style rims and modern tubeless radials.


Here are some pics, more to come.

The first pic is how I found it, in the owner's parking garage, tires flat, oil everywhere, but solid and in one piece. The LR was basically being used as a storage locker.

The second pic is on the back of the wheel lift, compliments of AAA, the first time outside in 23 years. Note the dust and dirt.

The last pic is after some cleaning and buffing with One Grand paint resealer/cleaner. Love the Marine Blue paint!!!

Welcome to the registry! Looks nice, of course all of us will want to hear about the details on how you found this gem. I'll add you to the registry and build a signature graphic for you.

Here are some new pics I took while cleaning things up. Getting ready to dive into the engine soon.

I took delivery of NADA Chassis Number 34300717A, Engine Number
34300706A on 21 March 1968. I purchased it from a Dealer in Maryland.
In 1975 the engine blew and I had three Children in High School, looking
forward to going to college. The Land Rover was parked under a tree and
stayed parked until 2005 when I decided to dig it out of the jungle that had
grown up around and through it.

My late wife became ill in late 2005 and I did not return to the project until early 2009. I'll attach photo's once I figure out how to do so. I am no longer physically able to do the work myself. (If I ever was.) There is a shop here in Bethel that specializes in the Restoration of Antique Farm Machinery. Kelch’s Repair Service. They have rebuilt Tractors that are over 100 years old. In some instances the Manufacturers have been out of business for decades.

They have developed a list of specialized vendors who can
reproduce just about any part required. They agreed to undertake the
restoration of the Unit on the basis that it gets worked on when their Active
Farm Machinery Repair Business is slow.

In all honesty, the restoration has not been and is not a financially prudent
undertaking. The engine rebuild has run between $4-$5 K, and we have not tried to run it. The Restoration is not intended for Car Shows, but rather to be used in it’s Original Purpose.

The NADA will be mounted on a new Chassis, from Rovers North and will have a new Galvanized Bulkhead which is currently being produced by Pegasus. It has a new fuel tank.

The Original SU Carburetter AUD 201 has been rebuilt by Joe Curto. The
Original Fuel Pump has been rebuilt by David DuBois. The Original Distributor has been rebuilt by Advanced Distributors. R I WIRING SERVICE, INC. fabricated a new NADA Wiring Harness.

Charles Kellog at British Northwest Land-Rover is providing a complete new
headliner and some insulation. New Elephant Hide seat cushions and interior panels have been supplied by Rovers North. All four side doors are being replaced.

Rover Racks has fabricated a new roof top rack. Two "B" Posts are on Back Order at Craddock which has one and is waiting for Land Rover to
produce the other.

Starting in 2005 I have had the good fortune to develop an excellent list of
vendors, foreign and domestic. If anyone reading this wants my input
concerning suppliers feel free to contact me. Many parts have been acquired at Auction.

Welcome Jim!

I'll get you listed as soon as I can and create a numbered icon registry logo for your forum signature.

Wow,nice to hear from an original owner!
Rarely do you come across original 60's owners let alone original owners actually getting down to business restoring them.
All the best with the restoration,Jim!
PS,Did you ever diagnose the cause of the blown engine?

[patrickfoley1]

A hole appeared through the #5 piston. My two teen aged sons were returning to Ohio from Southern Indiana where we had spent the weekend snaking logs out with the winch. No one has a clue as to what caused the hole. I never found a missle.

I have read through the pages of this registry and note that many members are looking for answers. I began researching NADA (I was unaware of the category when I purchased the Unit in 1968) in the 2003-2004 period. I have in PDF much information, some of which may no longer be posted on the net. These include, but are not restricted to the NADA Production Records-Date of Manufacture, Color, Selling Dealer; a 120 page Thread discussing NADA and other models, created in 1993; and "A History of Land Rover." I'll be happy to attach any of the above to an email. I will also be happy to provide a list of the other archives I have.

[patrickfoley1]

Thanks. Did you go coil? Need some guidance here, my bulkhead is good. Frame is rusted beyond repair, engine is reported to run.
I am getting a 110 frame with it. Was thinking I would get a 99 disco and move it to 110 frame. Move body onto 110 frame. I read somewhere that the v8 wouldn't fit into the straight 6 bulkhead. Wondering how much modification it would take to fit the v8. A little trimming and metal work or lots? Then will the breakfast still fit with some mods? Today i Started thinking of going original. I'm not sure what frame to get. Are there any covetted pieces that I should make sure I have before starting a restoration?
Years ago I read a discussion regarding installing a V-8, or any other significantly more powerful engine in a NADA Drive Train. The exchange was between what appeared to be two very experienced Land Rover Mechanics. Their recommendation was "DON'T"! They agreed with each other that the Drive Train was not designed to be hooked up to a high powered engine. A quote that has stuck with me over the years went something like this: "Land Rovers are about Gearing, not Horsepower." patrickfoley1

Hello all!
I have owned a NADA 6 cyl 109 station wagon since about 2000 or so when I picked it up from a man in Pocahontas Arkansas who didn't know what he had and at the time I didn't know it was that special. The previous owner from him had chopped the body up to make it into a pickup body so they had sawzalled the back of the roof and roof sides and sheet metal screwed them to the back of the pillar behind the driver door.
Once I got it home I was calling Rovers North for parts and they told me it was not your average Rover. Since then I have slowly searched out all the body parts I needed to get the body back to the Station Wagon it should have been.
It is currently not running and still resides at my Mom's house in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. I live in Fremont, CA and have not brought it out because I always kept thinking I was going to move again but 8 years later and I have yet to move so soon it will be brought out and I'll continue restoration.

Long story short, currently awaiting restoration in Pine Bluff, AR
It has a vin # of 231A
Is there any significance of the A?

Back home I also have extensive records on it from first sale to a Forest Service worker up in Washington state up until the 80s when it made it to Okalahoma and then no records till the man in north Arkansas got it.
I've yet to see what the Rover factory has to say about it.
When I get the records out here I can post its history outline if anyone might be interested.

Amusing thing was that the frame bits that stick out to the sides were packed with dirt. I dug it all out and as I did my Mom who is a geologist said the dirt was volcanic and there wasn't any soil like that anywhere in the midwest. Later that night I dug through the records and found out it was in the pacific north west. I always find it interesting the traces left within the vehicle that tell of it's own past.

Sorry for the long winded first post!

According to Land Rover Production Records 231 went into Production on 1 July 1966. Production was completed 11 July 1966. The Color was Light Green. It was then dispatched to Rover San Francisco. I hope this information is useful to you.

I have #734 (shipped to Canada in 1968) 109 NADA station wagon in Limestone c/w safari roof but mine has a factory 2.25L Diesel ( go figure?) with an overdrive unit. Chassis plate indictes a series IIA but the body is a series III ,I am in the process of trying to search with Land Rover in the UK for the factory records. It is under going a chassis up restoration. I am located in Ontario, Canada

Mark
I've looked at my copy of Land Rovers Production Records. They show an uncertainty as to the date Production started, but Production ended 7 January 1968 (It appears that Units took anywhere from 5 to 11 plus days in Production. Color was Limestone. It was Dispatched to Mr. J. Hollins, Ottawa. You may have already found this information in the 14 months since your posting. If not I hope this helps you.

#34300083A is in Fayetteville, NC

purchased last year from a guy in NC, who I believe purchased it from a Series Rover shop in Asheville, NC, who I believe purchased it from an older gentleman in Atlanta, GA. That's all the history I have on it so far. I have some resto pictures from one of the previous owners where it was stripped down to the frame. If anyone owned it in the past, please let me know - I would love to know more of its history.
According to my Copy of the Land Rover Production Records for 083 Production began 28 April 1966 and the Unit was completed 1 June 1966. The Color was Limestone and it was dispatched to Rover Jacksonville. Regards,

Oh, and I'm looking for a driver's left wing. Anyone have any pointers?

(Mine got crunched at the beginning of it's final move to our house in an unfortunate incident with a @#$%& tow truck operator and I was winched and then rolled into a tree. Don't get me started, I still get white hot just thinking about that whole mess.)

Hey guys!

Thompson (aka TSR53) has been gracious enough to create a NADA Registry logo for us 1967 NADA 109 guys. What do you think?

It looks like he is willing to make one for each vehicle # if you are interested. I have added mine as part of my signature.

Enjoy!

Change in plans prompts sale of NADA 109SW #302. Located in Portland, OR. The truck is an excellent restoration candidate. It is fairly complete and has a Chevy 250 conversion. It need to be taken apart, painted, and put back together. All the usual stuff like brakes, fuel systems, and wiring need to be addressed. And it needs an interior. A new back door wouldn't hurt. Corrosion in the usual spots, firewall, doors, and pillars, exists, but is minimal - all can be easily restored.

Lots of pictures at this web site:

http://web.mac.com/ksfischer/iWeb/LandRover/109SW.html

Ask questions and I can take more pictures.

Asking $4500.

A restored chassis is also available in Paso Robles, CA, for $1000.

A previous owner of my 109 made the middle doors into 2 part doors- not bad but they do not really close all that well and now and seem like they channel rain onto my kids in the back more than they keep it out. Looking to see if anyone has a line on some 2-2a-3 doors in half decent condition that they would be willing to part with –

Have a set of the replacement doors from the hosts but am unable to locate the galvanized trim or windows so if you have them lying about I would also be interested

I think my 109 is a 68 but here is the VIN: 34300728A. Looked it up on the VIN finder and it just lists it as a date range. This truck is in Rutland Vermont and was poorly "restored" by someone in Florida about 10 years ago. I am currently working on it and given the condition of the frame I am considering putting everything onto my 100" range rover chassis ....which would be stretched to work.

The records I downloaded several years ago show a question mark as to the start of production in 1967,of your Unit, and a completion date of 15 February 1968. Your unit was then sent to Rover Newfoundland. Stricter Pollution Standards went into effect 1 January 1968 and in theory all units produced after that date could not be shipped directly to the US. However,#724 was built in January 1968 and went to California. Starting with #725 all went to Canada according to the records I downloaded in 2005.

Thank You Very Much

My restoration will be on a new chassis purchased from out Hosts a year ago. Most of my old chassis is in good shape, but it has rusted out (or close to it) in a couple of spots. You are welcome to it, at no charge, but you must come and get it. If you are interested email me at redbrush2@yahoo.com. I have some photo's, and can target specific areas with more photo's if you are interested. I don't want to send it to the scrap yard.

I just picked up a good used bulkhead and had a chat with the seller. He knew of several other 109 chassis for good prices and in good useable shape so i think I'll pursue those. I could probably strip my chassis down and repair it but I think it would not be worth the time it would take...plus I'd rather swap parts over to a frame then have them sitting somewhere for a while.

So did I read your post correctly in that my truck likely came down from Canada? I have a bunch of receipts and corresponding emails so I'll look over those again and see if I can figure out the origin. I do have a title but I don't think it will be much help.

[Cutter]

If anyone ever pulls the 2.6 or has the part kicking around, I am interested in putting the westlake head on my euro spec 2.6. Not in any rush since I haven't seen my truck in 7+ months but wanted to put it out there if someone eventually makes the switch...

Maybe someone here knows if it is even worth it, supposedly it provides more power than the euro version. I also need an exhaust manifold someday.

the 6 in my 109 is long gone. I don't know who pulled it or when but all I have now is the 2.25....and a smoky low compression one at that.

I am not a mechanic. I have been fortunate enough to have found a company in the UK that appears to be knowledgeable with regards to the P4 110 Engine. Be advised, the P4 110 engine came in both 2.6L and 3.0L. The difference being the stroke. Among the 2.6L engines the only version suitable for the Westlake Head is the engine with the Oil Return in the rear.

There were two (2) Non-NADA 2.6L engines placed in 109's. One had a compression ratio of 7.0:1 and the other 7.8:1. The 7.0:1 was rated at 88 BHP at 4500 rpm. The 7.8:1 was rated at 93 BHP at 4500 rpm. By way of comparison the NADA compression ratio is 8.8:1 and 123 BHP at 5000 rpm.

If you find that your european 2.6L has a Rear Oil Return, come back to me and I may be able to direct you to someone who can supply you with a head. Be advised, these heads were subject to warping, so check that out before buying. Also be advised that Head Bolts have been out of production for 40 years as have Inlet Valves. I recently acquired one Inlet Valve to be used as a template when next I need them.

When I get my truck back I'll take a look, I did determine which compression it was but can't remember for the life of me. Should have written it down. How do you identify the rear oil return, I have a fairly good image of the motor in my head? If the parts for the westlake heads are even harder to find than the stock on my engine, I may just pass since I don't need to make it any more challenging. Thanks for the informative post...

I just reread this entry and realized that you might be under the impression that all 109 chassis are the same. The second cross member of a NADA Chassis is located several inches to the rear of where a 4 cylinder chassis cross member is located. That is to permit the installation of the longer engine.

[KHiller]

I'm not sure if anyone here can help with this or not, but I have a question regarding the frame on 34300021A. I acquired the car about 2.5 years ago and have little knowledge of its history. Everyone tells me the frame must be rusted out if it's the original frame, but it's not rusted much at all, near as I can tell. So, I tend to think it has been replaced sometime in its past. But, the serial number on the frame matches the body. Therefore, the question I have, is it possible the factory stamped the original serial number into a replacement frame for the previous owner?

Thanks
Kevin

[bkreutz]

Kinda doubt anyone would have stamped a replacement frame. It is possible it's the original frame, it all depends on where the PO lived, where and when he drove it, how thoroughly he washed it. and so on.

[patrickfoley1]

I agree with Gale. You are in possession of the Original Frame. My Restoration Manual is in the hands of the Shop doing the work, so I can't provide the Title, Publisher, nor an exact quote without going to the shop. (I'll do so if you ask). As I recall the manual suggests you take a ball-peen hammer to the low spots in the frame. By "Low Spots" I refer to where water would settle in the frame as the vehicle sat at rest. If you have a frame problem the hammer will locate it if you hit all of the low spots. Good luck, Jim Chandler (patrickfoley1)

I'm probably 6 months from having 717 Road Ready. How are the members of our Forum Handling the Insurance for a NADA Unit?

[KHiller]

Thanks Gale and Jim.
I got a couple of the same type of responses from another thread, so I'm thinking it's original. I like the idea of using a ball peen hammer to check for thin spots. I'll be hammering on it the next time I get time to crawl under it.
Thanks again.

Welcome to the registry! I'll try to get your number updated on the list.

[patrickfoley1]

Welcome Aboard Pete and Debbie; I am the original owner of 717. When the Unit was brand new, parts had a long lead time. Today you will discover that most original part numbers have changed. You will also discover that Land Rover Dealers, and Parts Suppliers, do not have most NADA Engine Parts. The NADA Engine is the Engine used in the Rover P4 110. This 2.6L engine was discontinued in 1964 or there-abouts, and a 3L version was introduced. Some parts are not interchangeable between the 2.6L and the 3L. I have been having my unit restored from the ground up for several years. Delays have been caused by the need to find Parts. I'll be happy to answer questions and provide sources. My eMail address is redbrush2@yahoo.com. I'll do everthing I can to help you keep your unit original.

Hey,
I have been restoring my 1967 NADA for the past three years. It is number 246; red with cream top. At some point in the past someone changed the 2.6L for a 4.2L GM inline six. The truck runs very smooth and has great power with the GM engine. I want to get my car insured soon with classic insurance. Does anyone know what a very nice NADA model is worth? I want to insure it for replacement value.

You might also want to compare Grundy with Hagerty. Very similar price wise, but they differ on requirements and restrictions. I think they're both good companies but the differences may fit different situations(read usage) better.

Just posted on another thread about my former 109 with a Ford 300 EFI that I installed in the late 80's.

If anyone knows where it is, hopefully it can make it on to the NADA Registry.

[michaell]

I have a 1967 SIIa 109 SW that lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington. It was a 2.6 6cyl without an engine when I bought it 1998ish. I put in a 250 chevy and have been fairly happy with it. VIN ends with #663A.

The story I was given when I bought it as that it was used in the 1968 Mexico Olympics as a film camera truck. It had a crazy big front bumper with mounting points and (4) 2 inch holes drilled through the sun sheet on the perimeter of the roof. Presumeably, these were for the camera platform where the film cameramen stood. It was originally all tan and had been sprayed with black paint so I repainted it dark green with a tan top. It has an A at the end of the VIN which I am not sure of and it has a small (4inch) cast aluminum oval tag on the rear with "CD" on it. I was told this stands for "Corp Diplomatique." Any clues if this is true or a load of crap.

[patrickfoley1]

I checked my copy of the NADA Production Records. 663 was built between 11July 67 and 10 August 67. The color was Limestone. It was shipped to a Carl Wiffman in California. I "Googled" Carl Wiffman and found nothing. I don't know the significance of "A". My 717 has the same Suffix.

Could I ask if you have any info on #160A. I am looking to chase down its date of first registration so the original cosignee info would be really useful.

Regards
Gregor

Good Morning Gregor; 160A began production 17 June 1966 and production was completed 28June 1966. The original color was light green. It was dispatched to Rover San Francisco. This probably would have been Rover Motor Company
of North America Limited in South San Francisco, California. That Company no longer exists. I did some Googling and may have found a derivative of that company, the owner of which may be able to provide some help in your quest. I have a pdf I'll send you if you will email me so that I can attach the pdf to it.
