From a S3 owner in England.

Hi fellow S3 owners,

Good to see there are still some S3s still left on the roads in Oz,

I wonder..are they a very rare..in the Uk they are starting to become a bit thin on the ground..

I expect with you warm climate they last quite well,

Anyway keep up the good work guys...only just found this very interesting web site.

Nick.

prices starting to rise for the less corroded/not run a beach series 3's. For info try Free Local Classifieds Ads from all over Australia - Gumtree (http://www.gumtree.com.au) and search for land rover series.

The one we have just started restoring is a running, complete, rust free example that spent its life in central NSW, so it has survived well. A bargain at $500.

I wouldn't call them rare at all - uncommon on the roads, but still plenty kicking around. Will be some time before they fit in the rare category IMO.:)
