… and I loooooooove it

It reminds me of an old landrover color , they used to have a range of greenish colors and yellow colors. When I was a lad in WQ there used to be a lot of landies about. My father drove a sandy colored two door S -11 109 for work. It was great fun going with him in the bush, but I also remember it was very noisy and rough riding. He was not a very good river and thought a car was like a horse. He would point to a landmark or hill in the distance and say we need to visit a windmill etc over there. He's go along the road until he got as close as he could then turn off the road and drive cross country, mostly in a straight line, only tuning to avoid trees too big to knock down or big anthills. It made for some excitement when we had to cross the dry gullies etc. It says a lot about how tough those old cars are.

Enjoy I found these on the net , there's so many great landy pictures there. ( a bit of a distraction when you should be working). love the colors.

it will push up the value of my rare 'white' 110.

Enjoy, maybe you could start "The Keswick Club" , sounds toffy and noone but landy owners would have any idea what the club was!..

Each defer in Keswick Green could be called a branch of the KESWICK Club meaning after a drive you could say you've been at the KESWICK CLUB ..

Obviously the traditional home of the club would be at a place called KESWICK GREEN (There was an area in the KESWICK ARMY BARRACKS in SA that was originally reffered to as the Keswick Green (a parade ground)

So anywhere nearby that would do?!- meet for coffee in Keswick.

Love it!

Simmo, those older LR greens on the Series models were what I was thinking of when I plumped for Keswick Green. It's a pity they don't still offer the roof and rims in 'Limestone'; the Fuji White is startlingly bright at the moment, but I expect it will weather down a bit. The mustard yellow colour seems to be very common on Series models in Australia, but in the UK (where I originally hail from), the greens, greys and blues were always the most common colours.
