    Mick covets all 101's. luckily they didn't make a Mercedes powered version, he'd have to knock down his house.

    Probably are. I challenge you to a duel.
    Garden tools at ten paces at dawn.
    The loser gets to buy the 101.

    No challenge required Mick, it's yours!

    I have a really good feeling that mine will find me when it's ready.

    In saying that it looks like a nice enough unit, let me know if you bail out.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    All aust studebakers were 1945 build and the one in the add lacks the correct features for a early model.

    the above jeep in the studebaker is a long wheel base model of 101 inches.
    The width of a standard studebaker tray is 7ft.
    Note later production 101s and all Ex Aussie army ones are legal for a 1.5 tonne payload on or off road.
    A fully stripped 101 is 1,5 tonnes weight.

    Hey Mick, Didn't you end up buying that sand colored one? It's back up on ebayUK now? Was something dodgy? Dave.

    He wouldn't send me the photo's I requested. Said he would but didn't follow through.
    From what photo's there are, it's pretty filthy inside.
    My main concern is rust in the chassis. Couldn't see if there was or wasn't.

    Hugh from the National Military Museum in SA was looking at bringing in a number of 101s/lightweights from The Netherlands very recently, it may still be going to happen. The lightweights were LHD ex-Danish Army ones built to NATO diesel specs.

    Be very rare items over here and given the 30 year rule LHD ones can be registered here.

    If your serious it may be worthwhile tracking down Hugh and see whats happening. He is bringing in some trucks.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Question Importing a 101 from the UK?

    Thanks anyway Diana,

    When my 101 finds me it will be a right hand drive! Although I am really tempted to take a risk on this one Mick has let go... that price is pretty hard to ignore.

    Am wondering if I can get my pommie mate over there to have a close look at it for me and maybe organise a PPI. Can anyone offer suggestions on what I should ask a non-LR/101 person to look for (and perhaps photograph) if he can get to it?

    Also, say I was to go down that UK import path... what sort of things should I get done before it gets freighted and what parts/consumables should I be trying to source and ship with it?

    Appreciate any guidance/comment,

    Hoo Roo, Dave.
