Went to a clearing sale at Eumungerie today. The item of interest was the Series 1 pictured below. It is fitted with a Fiat tractor engine, and is in regular use. As can be seen from the photo, it came with a spare windscreen and a spare of complete doors. Not as obvious is it also came with an extra pair of lower doors and its tailgate, plus owner's manuals for both the Landrover and the engine. It has four near new tyres. Rear axle is fully floating, possibly off a later Series. I was unable to find a serial number.
It sold for $1000. Next to it was four pallets of parts, mostly of little interest - used and rusty for the most part, included a spare Fiat engine wit one con rod sticking out the side. But there were a pair of new hubs, and a long half axle plus two new drive flanges. The parts sold for a total of $180 if I remember correctly. The same buyer for everything. He comes from near Mudgee, says he has seventeen Series 1s, and does not have internet access, and seemed to have little interest in getting it.
Also there I met Tote and his wife.
