Note the wire mesh radiator grille over the head-lights on Michael Bishop's 1950 Land-Rover series one (SI), chassis number R06102815. Note also the lack of external door handles.

This Land-Rover has the rear-mounted belt-drive unit for powering machinery such as saws and threshing machines. A leather belt takes power from the driven pulley to the machine. The unit is driven from a power take-off (PTO) at the rear of the gearbox.

The radiator grille now has holes for the larger headlights on this later 1950 Land-Rover, chassis number 06113353. The new arrangment made cleaning the headlights much easier.
