The drawing Autorover shows is a different animal again. I think as below?

The pocket to my card is found fitted to the Disco. I have hints that my cards are 'military'. Wolf? Seems anything Land rover and a bit obscure gets labelled as military, it's the easy cop-out. Parts suppliers put the first label that sounds er... ahem, 'kool'.

Never did nail it. I think they're early coiler over late S3.

Apologies in advance if piccy causes distress: no one know where he goes, his magic becomes more magical every day. Even if you're especially good,  Land Rover Fairy can forget to leave his six-pence.

No.
I am pretty certain the card in your pic is a lower front door trim for early One Ten - only. As in attached pic.

If people used one to fit something else, then that is something else.

Sliding windows and split doors were retained on military One Tens, long after civilian versions went to wind-up windows and a single door card in June 1984.

However, few military Land Rovers at that time had any interior trim at all, and these cards were not fitted to SIII's.

That’s an interesting picture, Exile. A Y registered One Ten has to be pretty early yet it has a door opening handle in front of the door pull. The first photo from PetrolFour shows the Series Land Rover “pocket ripper” door opening handle.

I’d be interested to know what it is from!

My lacks the interior handle, and opens as any S2/S3. What with LaSalle variants too, I've seen 4-5 types. Still don't really know what is what. Definitely an LR part. Found mine on eBay. Mystery unsolved, Bunged 'em on.

Agreed, I have no idea where the door card on Petrol Four's first pic is from. No doubt he will ferret that info out in due course! :-X

The door in his second pic is a hybrid:

Top half is Series III, bottom half absolutely early One Ten.

The door handle in his second (and my) pic, is referred to by Land Rover as a "remote" handle. Only fitted to early One Ten Station Wagons and those "basic" vehicles where the first owner specified the interior trim package.

If you need to replace the door bottom, you will have to buy an aftermarket Series item, and weld an extra bar (from the old door) onto it, to support the plate that carries the remote handle and the control rods, back to the door lock in the conventional position.

Being only produced for such a short time, sourcing correct spares for a sliding-window One Ten Station Wagon can be "troublesome!"

Thanks Exile. That kinda' helps, now I know what mine is not! Well... they were cheap.
