wlaidlaw Posted March 7, 2021 Share #14841 Posted March 7, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I always wondered if Sir William Lyons had tiny feet. On both the various SS models pre-war and the post-war XK120 RHD models, there is nowhere to rest your left foot, when it is not depressing the clutch. This was cured on the XK140, which makes it much more comfortable to drive. Wilson 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14844 Posted March 8, 2021 My guess is that we're looking at a '1950 or thereabouts Kaiser Willys Jeep. JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14845 Posted March 8, 2021 And I´d say it´s a Willys Overland Jeepster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14846 Posted March 8, 2021 Given the fendershape is original it´s a 1950/51/52 model, not later. Given the color is original it´s "Bamboo Ivory" which Willys only offered in 1952. If it´s "Coronado Sand" (1953/54) the fender shape would not match correctly. I know some restored ´48,´49, ´50 models were later painted in the ´52 - ´54 colors as those looked "more classic". A ´48/´49 model should wear "Fiesta Yellow" (a bit more colorful) or "Universal Beige" (which was darker beige) when you preferred some kind of beige. Naturally many other colors were available.

Rona!d Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14847 Posted March 8, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) If I recall correctly, Kaiser Motors bought Willys Overland in 1953 and renamed it Willys Motor Company. In 1963 they renamed the company into Kaiser-Jeep Corporation. If it is a 1952 (which I think) or earlier model it was prior Kaisers ownership.

a.j.z Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14848 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Yes, a Willis Jeepster. The sign says 1950. No idea whether the colour is original. I found this in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it is still there 😉 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Rona!d Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14850 Posted March 8, 2021 This is the grandma of all modern „crossovers“ 😁 Land Rover has stolen the idea for their Range Rover Evoque Cabrio and sold it as their intellectual property. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14851 Posted March 8, 2021 The color could be Dizlers’ gloriously-named “Universal Beige” (1946-50ish)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal Beige was in the 1948 and 1949 color map of Willys. It was darker I think. This looks very close to Coronado Sand, which was a 1953 and 1954 color at Willys. Anyway, it‘s not bad in two tone like here. Many people choose that color scheme for their restored early Jeepsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted March 8, 2021 Share #14853 Posted March 8, 2021 Agree that the colour scheme is quite nice. The condition generally was quite good. Unfortunately, the owner (or any other living soul) was not there for further information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 9, 2021 Share #14854 Posted March 9, 2021 OK, similar angle and crop like the last riddle (maybe a bit wider). A good chance for less extreme car aficionados. A little extra challenge: Can you see if it´s a long or short one from this crop? 😉 Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 9, 2021 Share #14855 Posted March 9, 2021 I can't tell long or short but it is a diesel. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 9, 2021 Share #14856 Posted March 9, 2021 Seems to be a Land Rover Defender from between '83 and '90. If it's the longer wheelbase model it's a 127, but I have no idea how to judge that from this image. I'd need to be able to count the doors to do that, but I'm certain some of our Land Rover fans will know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZach Posted March 9, 2021 Share #14857 Posted March 9, 2021 The Defender was a later model. Judging from the lamps' position and metal front grille this could be Series IIA (1969..1971). If the side grille is significant, then it could be SWB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 9, 2021 Share #14858 Posted March 9, 2021 I think I´m fine with Series IIA and SWB. Not sure if the mirrors on the doors are US (safety) spec like the Series III had. The front fenders still have the screw threads for the fender mirrors which were common on the UK/European IIAs. Maybe William (ex-LR sales in the US) can tell me tonight, I sent him the photo. Must be prior to his LR time though and he mainly sold hundreds of later Range Rovers and Defenders. Here the car in it´s whole glory. Shot with an M8 in Charleston/SC a couple of years ago.
