I have just purchased a Series III GS 1979 FFR, on Ebay which found its way back to the UK !! It looks pretty complete, and unlike most of the Series III's in the cold & wet climate of the UK isn't full of rust! I am still missing original canvas, convoy lights and the axe from the front bonnet. But overall its in remarkable condition.

Not many 2.6 6 cylinders left over here now as most owners can't afford our petrol prices @ £1.20 per litre.

Any information,advice or sourcing of parts that I can get shipped to the UK would be most welcome.
