your membership when it is due you may not be included in the mailing list for Legend
and there is no guarantee of the availability of back issues. To avoid disappointment
please renew on time. Data Protection Act: Members' Personal Details. It is club policy

Land Rover, the 4x4 that ‘has a soul’ came from Mick Burn
who cut it out of the Mail on Sunday of 24.01.10.
The clipping from Solihull
News entitled ‘Land Rover
Legacy’ has a picture of
Ken Campbell at Solihull
with the 80in in which he’d
driven 11,700 miles from
Ndola in Northern Rhodesia
to get there in 1960/61.
Apologies to whoever sent
the cutting in - it’s become
separated from your name.

Philip Curtin’s obituary, with the interesting picture of Station

‘Rejuvenated at 6 0 ’ comes from Bruce Smith in New Zealand

local paper (The Shropshire Star) covering a story about the 1st
and 1000th Land-Rover delivered by a local dealer, with a photo
taken on Dec 2nd 1959. The well-used 1948 80in seems to

Viscount Bridgeman, Sir
Alexander
Stanier,
Sir
Richard Leighton, The Hon­
ourable G. G. Carew It was
not bad for a client list.
But 50 years ago this month,
Vincent Greenhous at Shrewsbury
had special reason to celebrate. On
December 2, 1959, the managing
director Patrick Greenhous
handed over the 1,000th Land
Rover deliveredby the firm.
Naturally, it went to a topmanthe Earl of Bradford, who had
already had eight Land Rovers
fromthe firm, includingthe second
one that Greenhous had ever deliv­
ered.
The occasion was marked by a
luncheon party for dealers and a
number of guests held at the Mytton and Mermaid Hotel, Atcham.
On the menu was smoked
salmon (starter), roast duckling,
and fresh fruit flan, washed down
with a 1955 Chabiis, or maybe a
1947 Heidsieck Dry Monopole,
whatever that is.
The handover was captured for
R ep o rt by
T O B Y NEAL
posterity by a photograph taken
outside, which has been loaned to
us by Shrewsbury transport histo­
rian Roy Pilsbury, himselfa Green­
hous employee.
“The Land Rover on the left is
the first Land Rover Greenhous
ever sold, in 1948," said Roy.
The buyer was Captain Mark
Mainwaring, of Oteley, near
Ellesmere, who is standing on the
left by that rather weatherbeaten
machine, which was nevertheless
continuingto give goodservice.
Next along is unidentified, and
then comes Lord Bradford, with
his gleaming new acquisition
behind him. Far right is Patrick
Greenhous.
Land Rovers have a reputation
for durability, so it is possible that
one or even both ofthese machines
still exist somewhere, although
Roy is not sure and would like to
find out.
“We finished the Land Rover
dealership in 1972 or 1973, and
then Kennings took it over," said
Roy.
A memo written by Greenhous’
sales manager John Phillips at the
time of the presentation notedthat
the Land Rover was proving espe­
cially popular among farmers, and
with various adaptations had been
used for everything from cropspraying to fire engines, and from
snow ploughs to manure spread­
ers.
And it ended: "Greenhous have
just bidden ‘bon voyage’ to one of
their customers who has set out to
drive across the Sahara to Kano.
We wish hima pleasant journey!
“Another customer recently left
for a holiday in the Southern
Hemisphere, and is at present
touring Australia in his Land
Rover.”

‘ I thought you may be interested in the at­
tached photos of the Adventure Drive which we
went to last Sunday organised by Dave Mitchell
and his staff. In, as you probably know, 6 0 0 0
acres of private woodland and forest near Bala
which is glorious countryside with lots of tracks
and some quite difficult bits too with rock
and m ud and water - all tackled in the Tread
Lightly’ fashion and using tracks already made
and used by forestry vehicles.
We set off at 7am for the 6 0 odd mile
drive to Bala and had a great day again with
Dave and met some nice people - some old
acquaintances and some new. Th e Series One
performed like a dream and went every­
where without a hitch at all, and on standard
running gear and wheels shod with Avon
6 .0 0 x 1 6 . Th e heater had a bit of a thrashing
all day as it was a bit chilly but we all had a
great day and lots of laughs too.’

Since then, a few have come to light, mostly close to derelict and needing

Many of the known survivors are late vehicles, but Lucy was shipped out
from Solihull in CKD form in February 1955.
Th e story we have is that she once belonged to Luxembourg’s Ministry of

construction project in the north of the Grand Duchy. Th e rear floor area,
though sound, shows signs of heavy kit being dum ped on it and tools being

point and there is a substantial prop shaft guard fitted underneath. The
throttle linkages showed considerable wear at a num ber of points, but very
little else did. Sold out of service, or abandoned because of a problem, she
was acquired by someone intending a conversion to a breakdown truck.
That never happened and eventually, after years of storage, she passed to
a new owner and spent more years in another barn before being found by
Mark Schrobildgen and Jean Paul Federmeyer of Koerich.

words and pictures Graeme Aldous
t would seem from the Forum that you either
I
love mudflaps or you hate them. And if you
love them, then you may be accused of non­
originality, at least as far as Series Ones are
concerned. Well, if you live where I do, you love
them - down a surfaced, but always-muddy lane.
And mine is a working vehicle, not a concours
one, so strict originality isn’t an issue.
Ever since we bought Fido (S X F 870) some
36 years ago, she’s had mudflaps — not just
‘official’ rear ones with the logo on that keep the
rear body and the trailer clean, but also some
rather ingenious front ones. A previous owner
had welded angle irons to the front of the bolt-on
chassis uprights that support the steering box,
and a piece of conveyor belting hanging from
those not only kept the doors a bit cleaner,
but also did a lot to stop m ud collecting in that
vertical crevice between the bulkhead footwell
pressing and the wing outer.
So when Fido received her new chassis, I was
anxious to re-fit them. Having shortened them a
little to overcome a worn and weak point, the rear
ones were simple, just some 1.5in (40m m ) steel
angle, cut to shape (to allow for the slope of the
rear chassis ends), pre-drilled and then galva­
nised. A smear of Waxoyl on the face of the rubber
where it was sandwiched between the irons, and
the whole lot could be bolted together and offered
up to the chassis. But the front ones needed a
bit more cunning. I didn’t want to burn the galv
off my new chassis bits by welding the angles to
them, so I took one of the scrap uprights and used
it as a template. At the lower end are three bolt
holes — two go to the chassis rail, and the top
one supports the wing inner. I cut two metal plates
to sit neatly inside the ribs of the extension, and
marked the slotted holes. Now I could weld my
angles to those plates, knowing that they would
fix in place using existing bolts, without having to
drill anything. After a visit to the galv bath, the
ironwork could be mated to the rubber, and the
whole lot installed in about half an hour.
The pictures possibly make it clearer. One
thing to bear in mind is that the positioning
of the left-hand bar must be decided first, as
there’s not much clearance from the exhaust
down-pipe. Once that’s been decided, make the
right-hand one to match.

the 80in Series ones with the small binnacle is
nearly impossible to accomplish! Th e book also
