The interior of a Série 1 of 53 should like?

A friend showed me some photos of is future classic. One fantastic S1 of 53, but I found 3 knob in the interior similar to a S2 or S3. The black, the yellow and the red knob. This is original?

Sounds about right for a 53. Not really certain but I think the loo chain for locking the freewheel unit was dropped in 1950, and the freewheel unit itself replaced by the selective 4wd transfercase in 1951 or 2.

I think Bill is correct - 1951, 80" S1 has the three knobs.

Yep as said above yellow/red/black the freewheel t/box stopped in 1950 when the yellow knob 2wd/4wd t/box started. It should also have a very cute small oval dash with speedo, fuel, amp meter and ignition/headlight switch. Engine should be the 2 litre F head . The seat cushions locate in the seat box with 2 rubber bungs Land Rovers were nice and basic back then.

The spare wheel was a optional extra back then too

Lovely vehicle for there time tho and iconic now

Cheers
