Farm clearance series 1's

[Defender Mike]

Big farm clearance tomorrow at Kangaroo Hills several S1's and 2s in good restorable condition or for donors no 48 's so don't get too excited. See Elders farm clearance sales. I got Sue to send me the Landy pics if you want to see pm your email and I will forward them on. Also a nice S3 ute looks a runner .
Mike:)

I did see a link to that auction, somebody posted it earlier in the week, shame I can't go, I had promised 3 vehicles for the relay for life program, cheers Dennis :angel:

[JDNSW]

A quick Google shows Kangaroo Hills in three states, so it my help readers to know which one we are talking about!

It is near Walcha NSW. Thanks for the pics Mike. I am going there , hoping to get there about 915am

Pity I can't make it scrubbing decks tomorrow

We went to the sale.


What a shame to see so many Series 1s go to scrap 4 I think and another 4 Series 2's, as far as I can gather, only 3 sold.

I picked up a really neat 58 Series 1, the second one in the row. I had originally intended to get this for a parts car, but that won't be the case now! This one was stored inside and was in good condition, with no apparent rust in the firewall. just a small punched hole

Also picked up a mountain of Series 1 Spares. We would have bought more, but with a 12 hour round trip and the seller wanting all removed by Monday, this wasn't possible

Good to meet Landy Smurf

[Landy Smurf]

And absolute bargain buy you got there Erich.
My dad wish that I had bought those 2 series ones now . It is good to see they both went to good homes and that I will be able to see what happens to them.
I ended up leaving there at 6pm and was utterly exhausted.
I managed to get quite a few series stuff (mostly series one).
It was a great day out though and got to meet some nice and interesting land rover people, including a few off this forum and some that will hopefully soon be joining.

Please tell me there were no straight 80" front guards!!:eek:


just for interest what price did the scrappies pay for the s1's?


(oh and sweet find and buy on the 86" !)

[Landy Smurf]

LMAO Digger. I bought some near perfect 80" guards for $30 the pair.
I think on average the scrap price per vehicle was $50. I know some went for $20

AAAARGGHHHHH!!

thats so wrong.

I'll never find straight guards for the 80's..

anyone have a 'exploded' plan view of them so I can talk to my engineering
firm about making some?

[numpty]

I wish I'd known this was on sooner, but I was in Bris over the weekend anyway.

Bugger, bugger, bugger :mad:

[Bundalene]

I wasn't aware of the number of vehicles, else we would have come with at least 2 car trailers and a truck. The add said "2 Series 1's and 8 chassis"





Erich

[Landy Smurf]

I thought the same at first too Erich, until Mike sent me the photos.

[Bundalene]

I was advised that the scrap dealer is from Port Macquarie, if anyone is up that way, there may be some bargains to be had, although I wouldn't hold my breath.


An early engine / gearbox (2 litre) sold for $5 I think - and I asked him if I could buy the power take-off mechanism off the back. He said - Yes for $10. By the time I had it removed, he was gone.



I drove the 58 off the trailer this morning, brakes good, clutch good engine good (no smoke) steering 1/4 turn freeplay. I am wrapped

[digger]

Ohh thats just rubbing it in Smurf!!! :(


(well done mate!)

[russellrovers]

[Landy Smurf]

Not really, as I do still have an 80" and I know how hard it is to get guards in this condition for later 80"

[isuzurover]

Looks like a toyota diff.

[digger]

hi would you like to sell those 2 guards regards jim

Hey Jim,
if he's selling Im in first!!!

:p

straight ones are like hens teeth bathed in rocking horse piddle :(

[wrinklearthur]

Blubber, sob!

I have some parts here from a incomplete 80", maybe 1952'ish, there is a bit too much missing to put it all back together at the moment, the chassis has a Holden hack and the chassis and firewall number don't match.

Now you have shown me those mudguards, Smurf with those with the knowledge, are telling you that hens teeth preserved in rocking hose wee, are more plentiful.

It really goes against my grain to part out a Land Rover, in fact everyone in the world should drive a Land Rover so they must be saved.

I ready don't know what to do now!
.

[Landy Smurf]

Arthur there was an incomplete 1952 80" there which got sold of as bits.
I cant remember who got the firewall and tub or how much. The firewall was in good condition but I couldnt fit the tub on unfortunately so I had to leave the lot there.

If the guards are OK, the thing to do is PM me for freight instructions!! :o
:p

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[wrinklearthur]

Yes the guards are serviceable, so I need freight instructions to get all the missing bits down????? :p
.

[digger]

we obviously need to chat! :)

and I need to sort out how to get stuff from you to me :twisted:
(without the boss knowing!):angel:
