G'day All, I note that he hasn't shown the brass ID tag with it's ARN on it, as he claims it's ex W/l\D, also I wonder what that rather large gal/washer with a extra long bolt sticking out if it is for ??, just behind the throttle cross shaft on the bulkhead, other than that very neat S1 cheers Dennis
I didn't think the early S1's had the square hole for the shaft to engage hi range??, early S1's not my strong point..

For a car with a highly-polished look, I am surprised that the engine looks so care-worn - tatty and obviously unrestored distributor and radiator; strange colour on the air cleaner; rusty manifold etc.

There is a brass plate on the inner wing, which might be an M.O.D. one but then again it could be off any car. It is relatively easy to find out the history of British ex-military cars, so I am surprised that firstly; it is not mentioned and secondly; that such a shiny in-appropriate paint job has been applied, rather than trying to preserve or re-create this car's military history.

Would I pay more than US$21 000 for this car? No way! If it looked like in did in service, I could be seriously tempted.

Yet another car with its history erased :(

Very nice but "period two pack paint", 2L engine and a number of other out of place bits, must make some of the 80" wondering around in Aus worth 50Grand.

the landie was passed in at $21,450.00 us ($24,085.00au)
the owner must be mad not to accept an offer like that for an old series 1
any one like to buy mine? even has a winch?;)

[digger]

I'd love to bid higher but the bank said NO!

Bought it for $750-
Spent $19000 on restoration.
Guess its worth $5.00 more than price paid ( authentic restoration calculation guide, Top Gear 2010) so $755- seems like market price in Australia?
Might look better in USA dollars ? :whistling:
On second thoughts landie is now with drawn till I fix 2 gear jumping out.
:p
