1980 County

Hi to all from Penguin Tasmania and its good to become part of the family. I have just purchased a long wheelbase 1980 diesel County and not knowing much about this model, I would love to hear from other members about the County, where I may be able to purchase a workshop manual for this model and spares, such as a front nearside outer wing skin and a dashboard.

No such thing as a 1980 County but it could be a Stage 1
If it has leaf springs these manuals will do everything but the engine

Welcome aboard.
I believe you could get the Ser3 Stage1s in County spec.I once had a look at a white one for sale in Denmark WA.It was a V8 petrol,had better seats in the front than a Ser3,all seats were black cloth.Also had extra gauges in the centre of the dash.Had the County decals.
It MAY have been a private UK import.

I've never seen one, but I suspect you are right - and it could be a Stage 1 Isuzu with County trim I suppose. I think the County trim only came with the station wagons.
