Thats why you should never polish your Land Rover, the badge will invert and all is lost.

They are not common like this, so when people are looking at them in the mirror the badge will read LAND ROVER so as to further the name of the brand. I thought everyone knew this??:angel:

sort of like when you look in the mirror and can read ECILOP, then you realise you are being pulled over.. (ask Mick):D

I love that mid mounted mower. :cool:

Cheers, Mick.

[Chops]

Looking at those couple of "working" pics makes me wish I still had the pics of my old S3 SWB Ute being used on the farm. :(
We used to use it for harrowing the paddocks as well as being used with a boom spray mounted to the front bar with the old oil tank in the back spraying the paddocks for Pattersons Curse. Same set-up used for fighting fires too. :D

That first pic of the series 1 is awesome! I bet all those farm Accessories would be rare as these days and very hard to get, not to mention worth heaps!:eek:

[Chops]

Wow that's so cool, a real working vehicle:):)

It was pretty cool. All summer I ran around with the fire unit set up, so the tank in the back, generally 3/4 full with the Honda pump in there too. Then whilst we were spraying, I would run around for a couple of weeks with the boom spray bolted to the bull bar as well.
And dont forget, I had a normal day job as well, so always driving 30 odd K to work every day fully set up.
I did get some strange looks though when the boom was on ;)

Some more. I love the 'having a beer in the street' photo - a herd in the main road causing a traffic jam? We just don't see that anymore - it must happen at night, cause I certainly see a lot of BS around.

This is an evocative pic -the LR ute would be almost new condition in 1958. And to get around there in the rain.. those were the days.

I agree the tray is too long. Custom cab, made, by the look of it, by someone who knows what they are doing, probably a body builder used to doing special truck bodies. I think the drip gutter is aluminium not stainless.
