Hi guys, went for a walk around Hillside wreckers, a few K's west of Lismore, today; had to get a part for the Futura. ( The blinker stalk fell off).
Anyhow...
Off in the distance I spied the distinctive roofline of a Range Rover.
A few minutes later, I found two mid seventies RR two doors and a couple of series LRs.
All these were straight but tired.
The RRs were largely intact minus interior. The series, I think, were probably 2a types, before the six cylinder versions. (sorry guys, I'm not that ofay on series LRs). lwbs?
Old Landies rotting away, sadly.
Just thought I 'd share this with y'all, may need bits for a project, or start one...
One of the RRs was definitely worth restoring as was the cream(ish) double cab tray back series...
(Curiously, a mint condition Cressida from the early nineties stuck out like a sore thumb. I didn't ask, but I suppose its drivetrain may have died).
Graveyards are fascinating places. Trouble is, these guys eventually crush everything, and history disappears.
Cheers, GQ
(I don't work there or own this business, but in a curious way, I'd kinda like to, I'd like to crush the Marinas, remember them? or restore the coupe, would probably be the last one on earth).
An orange P76 force 7 rolled thru Lismore just before Xmas, with a for sale sign on it, still looks the part, eh?
