Whos looking for a 101 landrover ?

[101 Ron]

Romour has it AJ is sitting on 3 101s.

My information has it as follows

1x 24volt V8 fitted with a hard top and a triple jerry can holder.

1x 12 volt soft top fitted with a TDI 300 diesel and 5 speed with new tyres

1x V8 soft top 12 volt.

All are RHD and I have been told you could own one for 14K while they last

Ron

PS
I noticed AJ has been advertising Sankey trailers which were standard behind a 101 in the UK

[Landy Smurf]

wow sounds like a good deal. I would buy one in a heartbeat if i had the money.
hmmm anyone want to buy a half finished s1 80'' :p

[Mick_Marsh]

I was under the impression they were sold before they landed.
Anyway, it you're waiting for the price to drop, they'll sell before that happens.

Sitec, here's your chance.

[isuzurover]

Who is AJ???

[101 Ron]

AJ..........I cannot mention dealers names ??????????
Melbourne based importer of British 4WDs............well known.

The diesel would be good for a tourer ???????????

That diesel has me seriously thinking about selling up one or 2 of my land rovers

If I wasn't income challenged, I'd be looking at it this weekend.

[Landy Smurf]

the diesel is gone :(

[101 Ron]

The quick or the dead.
There nothing wrong with a V8.........convert it to gas ???????

[Landy Smurf]

I am still interested in a v8 as it would not be my everyday car anyway.
I just need to sell my series one to fund the money for it

[Firefish]

I never cease to be amazed by how many old land rovers are advertised and sold through nothing more than rumour and chinese whispers.

Well, I guess it keeps the prices down :angel:

Not the case at all. You just haven't been listening to what has been discussed openly all over the place.
I have known about these 101's since about some time late last year. AJ mentioned he had three in the UK when I bought some parts from him. I have told many people about them. I think I have mentioned them in a few posts on this forum.
You want a 101, give AJ a call. He has a list of people wanting a 101 longer than your arm. A lot of those people are not on AULRO.
There is a very healthy market for 101's outside AULRO.

[101RRS]

There is a very healthy market for 101's outside AULRO.

And they all seem to end up at Mick's place.

[juddy]

You sometimes need to have the contacts for these sorts of things.

As for the avaiabilty of 101s its abit like waiting for a bus:) none turn up then theres 4.

And having contacts on the ground overseas is a big help so you dont buy a pile of junk, the 101 we have coming over is a 9/10 example and was very well looked after. If it was to be re sold here it would be around the 20k+ mark.

[Mick_Marsh]

And they all seem to end up at Mick's place.
Not all.
Yours isn't here, yet.

[juddy]

greedy you....:mad:

[Mick_Marsh]

As for the avaiabilty of 101s its abit like waiting for a bus:) none turn up then theres 4.
There are lots for sale in the UK at the moment, one or two for sale in the US and a few for sale in Europe. If you are genuinely interested I can point you in their direction. Bear in mind the US ones are around US$20,000 and the UK ones from £5,000 to £8,000 from memory. Also, some of the vendors are a bit anal about their national treasures leaving their shores so contacts are a great advantage.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, It's a good one.

[Mick_Marsh]

I still don't have the one I want.
Not greedy at all. Everyone else had the chance to buy them.
Now that you're in a caring and sharing mood, Juddy, how about sending that workshop back down south?

[Sitec]

So, where's the diesel gone???? :)

I still don't have the one I want.

And any way whats the :bangin: your are waiting for? a Vampire?

[Mick_Marsh]

I don't collect UK 101's. I collect Australian delivered 101's.

[Sitec]

I'll get my but in gear and go take some pics of the one that's local to me as I think it's Aus delivered. He does want $20000 for it tho.... I think if $15 was waved under his nose though, he'd take it..

[gavinwibrow]

Dont forget there is one in Karrinyup WA for $8K - was a previous post on this.

:spudnikwaving:

Just so happens I'm fairly well versed in 101s to boot.

Dunno if it's one you think it is Mick, but it's a bloody good truck, probably qualifies as one of the fastest 101's in existence too.

[juddy]

The video, is fantastic...:wasntme:

[DasLandRoverMan]

This one?

Piper7, Jim Clark Eccles 2012 - YouTube (http://youtu.be/LrBi0XTVSVI)

[juddy]

Yep the Jim Clark re-take...

I think you should re run this but film it in HD this time...:wasntme:

[DasLandRoverMan]

It'd do it a lot faster now, it's half the weight it was running there.

[Sitec]

Was that in a 101???? What's it look like??

[DasLandRoverMan]

Yup, the former Piper 7 Recovery.

Running a breathed on Efi 3.9 (we reckon 230-240bhp) and in the video loaded to the gunwales with rally recovery gear, a massive crane and a few other bits.
There were events where it was clocked faster down stages than competing cars.

It looked like this when it was fully kitted out.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/06/379.jpg

[Sitec]

Fantastic! I used to be involved in/with AMRO, and we ran as Falcon Recovery. There was a white 101 kicking around with a 3.9 efi belonging to Chris Tomley.. Wonder if that is still about. Was great fun!!! Cheers for the pic and info! :)

[Sitec]

Thought you guys might like to see the two 101's that AJ has for sale... This is the first, which is the RAF vehicle.... which as Ron said is a 24v V8 hardtop....

[Sitec]

And this is the second which is a 12V V8 ragtop. Both are RHD. :)

[DasLandRoverMan]

That hard top roof is actually pretty neat. Not sure I completely dislike it, i maybe even think its pretty cool?

Never come across Falcon, the main ones round here are Atlas, Piper, Galloway and Viper. I know a few of the guys who run them, the rest you kinda pick up with Facebook groups etc.

I had heard of another 101 doing rally recovery down south somewhere, that's as far as my knowledge went.

[juddy]

What's this 101 invasion :)

Have these 101s been bought here unsold ?

[Sitec]

Yup, the 'one down south' would be Chris. Will try and catch up with him, and get some pictures. As for the invasion. Not sure of their story/history but know they r for sale.

[Mick_Marsh]

Mmmm.....
This is a nice one.

Invasion! It's been going on for years. There are many more imported 101's in Australia than the Australian delivered ones.
You really should keep up.

Oh, buy the way, including yours, Juddy, I know of three 101's that are on the water right now.

[Sitec]

Yeah, very genuine looking vehicle. It'd cost a bit once you had got it here tho!!

[Mick_Marsh]

Just thought I'd bump this thread.
I was chatting to AJ this morning about an unrelated matter. I asked him what interesting things he has around. He mentioned he still had two 101's for sale and a wide track Sankey trailer.

Wouldn't mind this RAF one.

Yeah Mick, I'm surprised this one has not sold too... The top is so well made! The back door shuts like something from a delux Jag! Loads of watertight space in the rear!! :)

[Mick_Marsh]

It must be an economy thing. I haven't had a phone call from someone wanting to buy one of mine for three months now.

It's in the UK. Unfortunately I can't pop over for a test drive tomorrow.

[Sitec]

Yeah, genuine looking vehicle that one... Trouble is, you can only drive one at once!! ;)

[DasLandRoverMan]

Isn't that the one with the Iveco diesel in it?
Looks very nice, but not quite my scene.

I thought the idea of having a collection was that you drove your favourite a lot, and had a few others just in case you fancied a change?
That's how I used to play it anyways...

Of course there is always my ambulance with a brand new imported 3.9 i engine installed.

As the thread states..... Who's looking for a 101 Land Rover? I had a friend (who owns a hardtop 101) txt me today.. The txt went along the lines of "Hi Si. Not going to continue with the 101. I've decided to sell it with the brakes working but needing attention. If you want to put it on the forum, Im going to ask $20000 for it. Some might think that's too much someone might really want it. It will come with 3 months SA rego"......

Make of that what you will. I will be getting all the details over the next few days, and will post an advert in the 'vehicles for sale' section, but in the mean time, here's what I know. Its a V8 on carbs, with original gearbox and axles. It has a home made hard top which has a swing away wheel carrier on the rear. It used to be a GS. Its RHD and is registered in SA so is easily transferred. It has Bar Grips all round. The hard top has twin side doors on the left hand side and is set up as a basic camper/competition radio vehicle inside. It has a generator on the engine to run radios. (Note, it is not a genuine Radio Body). Will let u all know more when I do!!

[Mick_Marsh]

Is it an Aussie one? looks like it.
Remember to post it up in the "for sale" section with all the details.

Oh, could you PM me the chassis number too please?

[Sitec]

Advert is up! :)

Well, $30000 would buy mine. It would come with a full tank of fuel too... Contemplating trucks again!! :D

You'd be better off chasing one of those that are for sale.

I think hh is in the same mind. Mind you if a foolish $50,000.00 was bantered around I think he would take it:o;):)

Mind, keep remembering there were only 2,500 approx. world wide ever made, and 52 Aus delivered approx. They will be getting very thin on the ground soonish:)

That's a good price for yours mate! Tempting to buy it just to rip that silly motor out and put a V8 Petrol in it;)! (Only kidding - that Cummins is a work of art!:D)
I don't think I could put a price on mine yet - certainly $30k wouldn't come close to buying it - not with the Noken winch, overdrive and wheels sorted:cool:.

[Sitec]

Well, if someone seriously wants it, 30k it is, and a truck I shall buy! It'll either be a Merc with hub reduction axles all round, or an older one of these.. :)

The bigger hurdle is getting their better half to agree first, then the lotto win. Given that you can buy a cracking 101 for less money than a new base model Commodore, it's a no brainer really.

[Sitec]

Ok.. Here it is! A one off offer.. The Australian delivered 101 that I advertised on here a while back with the hardtop 'needs to go'.. Spoke to the owner today and he said $14000 will own it, and they don't come cheeper than that, sooo if you want a 'local' 101, PM me. (And if you want to spend double that, you can buy mine!) ;)

Oh, there is another in Markets.
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/military-vehicles-sale/222076-101-forward-control-boolarra-victoria.html
And it's a beauty.

[Sitec]

Its an Australian delivered GS. It has a home made (average but watertight) hard top, there is a swing away wheel carrier on the rear. Its the 3.5V8, and 4 speed. I have a spare set of 5 Bargrip tyres and the original engine cover I'll throw in. The front bumper has been modified to take a winch, but I have a complete original here which will be thrown in too.. Its located in Gawler SA, and can come with 3 months SA Rego if required, making transfer interstate much easier. Option B is the Cummins Powered GS, with a lot of extras. ;)

[Sitec]

Sitec, you (or the owner) need to post it up in the Markets section.

I did, along with mine.. All the talkers vanished, there's two available here in SA, and little interest. The owner of the AU delivered GS is not a forum follower, so if anyone is keen on either, PM me, jump on a big bird and we'll go form there.

[Mick_Marsh]

Ok. Christmas is coming and I need a roll call of all the 101's people have heard of for sale.
All "heard from a mate at the pub" and "there's this one parked in a paddock" stories gratefully accepted. Photo's a bonus.

Remember the "Five LRPVs Found" thread?

For those that told me I had to sell them mine, you'll pick it up for a fraction of what you'll need to pay to prise mine from me.
Mmmm has boosted brakes aswell[wink11]

C'mon guys. Go easy on rangieman.
His little Willy is somewhat lacking compared to a 101.

That ones sold now... bummer, I'd almost talked SWMBO into it as well...

Ah well, next time.

There are others for sale. How serious are you?
They're not worth $2k any more (yes, I know someone who paid that for his, lucky bugger). Are you prepared to pay the asking price?

Thanks Mick,

I said I'd _almost_ convinced SWMBO :-)

In all seriousness, we know we're going to need something in the way of a 4wd truck for our place - the utes doing well, but some loads are going to be a little too much for it, and a rear drive truck wont cope. Another option might be a perentie 6x6, but I've always wanted a 101.

One of the principle hurdles is it has to be something that the other half feels comfortable driving - doesn't have to love it, but at least needs to be able to drive it. She drove my old 300tdi defer happily. Will drive the isuzu ute. Drives the disco3 happily. Doesn't like the series 3 at all as she doesn't like the gearbox, or anything else about driving it. Happy driving the tractor. She's a good driver in terms of performance stuff (was a mech eng and used to do a lot of testing for ford), but less so in terms of mechanical empathy for older/quirky vehicles. So, anything needs to be test driven by her first to see if its something she can adjust to - which means I then feel bad as I'm test driving something that I may end up not buying due to something that isn't a fault in the vehicle, which I feel isn't fair on the seller.

The one that came up in the for sale section came up a little too early if anything, theres a few vehicles here to be sold, and I'm still waiting on council to approve the extension to the shed to I can get the various vehicles under cover. But - the price was certainly fair, and not out of reach at all.

And that was a very long answer to a very simple question [biggrin]

cheers

Well how is the missus going to handle climbing up into the 101 and then handle the heavy steering - Ok on the highway but everywhere else - armstrong steering is required.

From what you have just said, while you might want a 101, it will not be suitable for your missus to be comfortable with.

Garry

[Mick_Marsh]

Ah. To use on the farm.
Might I suggest you'd be better off looking for something like a Hino or similar. A mate picked up one at auction recently for about 10k. All he had to do was pay the rego transfer fee.

Umm... as someone who used to rock climb, and a (now retired) competitive kayaker, those are probably the two aspects she'd have the least problem with. [smilebigeye]

You may well be right. This may not be the time for a hobby vehicle.

[101 Ron]

A women will hate driving a 101 especially if she hates driving a series Landrover.
Getting in and out of one is a really big issue. .....especially for a women because there is no swarve way of doing it.
Steering is a very big problem for a women........take it from long term owners.
A rock climbing history will not help.
The 101 was a strictly military vehicle with no intentions for civilian use and was intended for 17 to 25 year olds to drive them in miltitary service as a gun tractor with big loads.
The series landrovers were made with civilian use in mind.....not the 101.

[101RRS]

That was then - this is now.

The 101 is a real pain in the arse when you have to manoeuvre back and forth - wheel lock to wheel lock - my shoulders feel it. As I said from your description above I doubt a 101 is suitable for your missus to use - ok when cruising the highway but not close quarters stuff.

Your choice of course.

Garry

[grey_ghost]

Maybe you should organise to go for a ride in one, best case test drive one?

[Homestar]

Good thought. Faraday is only 70KM from my place - if the OP can wait a few weeks, I'll happily run mine up there for them to test drive and look over. 👍😊

[grey_ghost]

I was going to offer mine but because it’s an Ambulance, auto, engine, etc - it’s not a good “normal” example...

[Homestar]

Yeah, probably not the best to test drive yours - they'll get the impression they can accelerate up hills and sit on 100 after driving yours. 😁

[Mick_Marsh]

Never mind.

Hey, I reckon I know a fellow who will happily put a normal 101 in your shed so you can look at it.

[Dave110HardTop]

Thanks Guys,

Does it help if I mention I'm with 5km or less of a few wineries? :-)

Theres historical buildings, old quaries and stuff too - but mostly the wineries.

Would love a coil sprung TDi 101 for camping. Who has one I can have?

[101RRS]

A TDI does not have enough power for a 101 - certainly not enough to justify the cost of conversion.

[Homestar]

Te best diesel conversions I've seen in a 101 are a 6B Cummins (went like a rocket and did 14's all day everyday with fuel economy and a TD5, but the owner of that one - a Mechanic - said it was a nightmare conversion to do and wouldn't consider it again.

If my V8 ever craps itself, I'll be thinking of a 4BD1T conversion and 5 speed - Ray from Roamerdrive is developing a kit to mate a strong, cheap readily available (in the USA) 5 speed to this engine and an adaptor to bolt an LT230 to the back of it. He's prototyping this conversion in a 101 as his current project.

[alan48]

Hi all,
not sure of the details but I thought KLR in Sth Windsor were developing a 5 speed to work properly behind the 4BDIT --guess it is the massive torque that causes issues so does anyone know anything about their progress on this as I may want a 5 speed to do this soon?
Previously I had a Mazda T3500 in my red 101 camper and I felt it went very well, used to do 16ltr/100 and it has a Samurai (UK) conversion--but realise it is now considered an old style motor, we had the standard RR4 speed behind it. Agree, don't bother with a tdi as they struggle even in heavy 130's. Alan

[Landy Smurf]

I test drove one of their perenties which had the 5 speed. I have not heard about them doing it for others but I reckon if you asked they would do it.

[Tins]

Yeah, probably not the best to test drive yours - they'll get the impression they can accelerate up hills and sit on 100 after driving yours. 😁

Put a 4.6 in and they can[bigsmile1]

[Mick_Marsh]

Or a Cummins 6bt.

I wonder if a 730 Scania would fit.....[bigwhistle]

[101 Ron]

I was passing plenty of Ex army Perenties on the Hume Highway sitting on 105 kph coming back from Corowa with a stock 3.5 low compression LPG and a over drive.
The problem was the muddies were sending me deaf and I had to wear ear muffs........[bigsad][bigsad]

You know who’s this is or just saw the ad? Is the winch complete? Looks like an Australian delivered unit apart from the bridge plate...

[grey_ghost]

It’s been for sale for a while. Massive road trip to drive it back to Vic. Lol

You know that you want to mate. You could always crash here for a few days on the way home. [emoji1303]

[101RRS]

What makes you say that - yes I saw the UK bridge plate but I thought the vehicle had a UK feel about it - might have been the plate and the paint I am not sure - also the tyres (I think are Alliance) are not common at all here but common in Europe.

I thought it might have been one of the ones AJ brought in a few years back and had shipped to WA - I think Gary's (AKA Dodge) 101 from WA had one of these.
