missingsid Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Series 1 club should tell by numbers on both. From same web site. Land-Rover Register 1948-1953 They are looking for all preprod parts. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I had an early 1951 2 litre engine 30 years ago with number V530177P, and on checking, the suffix 'P' stood for either 'pre production' or 'prototype'. can't remember which.

secondjeremy Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 All S1 petrol engines are overhead inlet side exhaust engines. The 2 litre is by far the most common. Early 1600's are the valuable ones. The number is stamped vertically on the front of the machined exhaust manifold face. Very early ones generally have side plates - covers for the water jacket on the inlet manifold side. Early ones can ve very valuable - even if siezed solid. http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
