he said $1500 but he said he'll take less,he had it going too,the engine sounded pretty good.Only one thing wrong with it is both rear cross members had pushed in at one stage and someone tried repair it.From i could see the chassis only had service rust.

[digger]

bargain!

hope the first in bloke, decides to get something else!

good luck!

anyone got more pics? :)

[keith73]

If i had the money then and there it'll be here.

When you go to a swap meet you need to be cashed up. Cash on the spot is very persuasive.

I was totally surprised and unexpected to see two land rovers for sale.:)

It's all done with magic, slight of hand and a few mirrors (little round ones on stalks).

Now ask him about a 1949 80" out of Champions in Adelaide and see where it gets you! :twisted:

Particularly when you consider that there's the travel from Solihul to the docks in Liverpool, onto a freighter (in 1950 likely a WWII Liberty Ship travelling at 11 knots) to sail to Sydney. Almost half the 111 days, likely more, would have been spent at sea.

They cant do much better these days, My D3 was built early January and delivered in March. Not a big improvement considering it was rolling when it left the factory

Good going Keith.
I have trawled that swap meet in previous years for LR bits with no luck. My Dad, who went last weekend, mentioned there were a couple of LRs there. I am now in WA so is a bit hard to get there these days!

I would have loved to have a look over it!

Cheers,
Chris
