30-260 HH's 101 Forward Control

There was also a Scottorn Bushmaster powered trailer and Series III 1 Ton combination in Australia. Both prototypes bought out of the Rover Special Products factory, first saw it in 1974 and later the tractor in Alice Springs in the early 1980's.

Unfortunately the owners of the tractor didn't know about the trailer and thought the drive coupling was only a PTO unit.

We called for some help as 'herc' wouldn't start, CC to the rescue

...found a faulty wire to the coil which was rectified and now he runs sweet...the radiator looked interesting so off to our radiator person for a look see...probably a new one

the clutch master and slave cylinder were purchased today, (this is the reason that it was sitting at the mechanics in the first place) so while out the pedal

got makeover along with the steering wheel, flash aren't they

Extreme poped over this morning to collect his AULRO jumper, he and HH took the rear wheels of to check brakes, half shafts and wheel bearings...all look great so wheels back on after a clean up

we are moving very quickly forward with this vehicle....
while 'bessie' is crying in the background

, she will get there I can assure everyone

The steering wheel looks much better.

Am I coming back this weekend to refit the clutch pedal and sort the black out switch wiring?

How did the brakes look?

All looking very bright and shiny!

Is Bessie still sitting on the trailer so Digger can pick her up?

Bessie is sitting on the car hoist and has been for months......well most of the time anyway... I don't think digger is interested in bessie as he has his own 2a's but a 101 may be different, and we won't go anywhere near the
MMMMMMMMMgunbuggyMMMMM area will we

A UK import model. I believe it has a 3.9 V8. Is the motor original to the vehicle or was the 3.5 replaced with a 3.9?
What is the grand plan? What do you intend to do with it?
regards
Mick

Finally checked today and the motor is original as is the chassis as per the REMLR site

So that would be a 3.5 Australian delivered then.
