I hadn't noticed it was just up the road! Not heard of them before. Way way out of my budget though!

https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/977...ver110_def That is the badge sorted and presumably the front seat cushion fabric could be found at somewhere like exmoor trim https://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/swatches It is not a Defender, it is a One_Ten |

The parts list (One_Ten up to 1986) doesn't list a badge on the grille panel, though it details the body tapes and "county" badge. The MUC2003 badge is listed for the 1984 facelift models. Also read a couple of articles about the original press launch and the vehicles pictured therein had the decal fitted.

You need the earlier (first) One Ten Parts Catalogue, dated September 1983.

When did the facelift occur? I have seen three A registered One Tens in the last 6 months with the plastic riveted on front badge. 2015 Defender 90 SW / 1985 factory V8 Ninety

The facelift One Ten launch coincided with the launch of the Ninety in June 1984.

Thank you Slidey. The A plates I have seen were pre facelift then as they had the two piece doors with the very nice sliding windows. 2015 Defender 90 SW / 1985 factory V8 Ninety

Thank you for the clarification. Just managed to expand the picture of the green CWK csw and I can just about spot the rivets holding the badge in place. If you wanted some made, there is a company, in Thirsk, North Yoqrkshire, I have used in the past. They made me some replica Speedo dials for an early Kawasaki and some military ID plates for an early 2a airportable. They also make badges for Aston Martin, so if you could provide them with an original to work from, the replica would be indistinguishable from the original The brochure I have shows them with galvanised bumpers. Or is that just my old eyes deceiving me? I remember reading somewhere that Land Rover recalled all the unsold early vehicles and selling them through Bristol Street motors, but that was years ago and we all know how reliable journalists are. In the case of the seals the book shows the same part number for both doors and, having ordered a pair for mine own rear doors, they very definitely don't fit. I ended up using a pair of pattern series front door seals. If you order using that part number these days, you end up getting WOLF front door seals, which are completely different. Don't know if it is still the case but Craddocks had some NOS rear door bottoms. I also had the misfortune to buy a pair of new upper door trims, advertised as being for the rear doors, turned out to be for the front doors. When I sold them, they raised the princely sum of 9p on eBay after a furious bidding spree in the last few seconds. Bought by somebody from New York. Some years ago I used to see a CWK reg station wagon quite often, caramel coloured, navigating parliament square before going down either Victoria street or, occasionally, Great George street. Couldn't tell you which engine because I always had a helmet and ear plugs and couldn't hear it. Also remember seeing an early camel trophy 110 Csw with selectable 4wd, registered in Switzerland, for sale on eBay. Finally, see you knew I'd shut up eventually, there is another part No you might be able to help me with, never seen it in any parts book, it is the steel support bracket, fitted in the rear tub, just behind the middle set of doors, the galvaniser lost mine. They were deleted in later years. It is not a Defender, it is a One_Ten |

A "caramel coloured" Station Wagon would probably be Limestone all over.

No, my eyesight isn't quite that bad, the vehicle in parliament square had the limestone uppers but the lower was very definitely a caramel colour, not as dark as the brown, not "sand glow" either, lighter than that. Not saying it was an original colour. Vehicle was in immaculate condition though.

I'm sure you've already spotted this early slidey window 110 on ebay - with what looks like a riveted badge |
