Like the majority of series Land Rover, our series I plimsoll (PSL 193) has been fixed and patched dozens of times during his life. Even so I still maintain that he’s original this proud boast is the source of much ribald comment from assistant editor Watson, it’s 50 years old yard broom that’s had nine head and six handles.
How original, is the best reply they can come up with he never tires of pointing out that the engine and gearbox have wiring harness, the offside bulkhead outrigger is new and so on. Clearly, original means different things to different people.
The original with regard to Plimsoll means that most of him, as he currently is, left the factory at the same time on the same day he’s not a collection of parts from several vehicle. We haven’t scraped the chassis and fitted a shiny galvanized one or shoehorned in a TDI both crimes that Watterson is guilty of with his series II A.
