John Anderson, ex deputy PM restored a series 2

[JamesH]

Saw in the paper (The Australian) that John Anderson, retiring leader of the Nats has just completed restoring his 1959 Land Rover (Igues its a series2). It was bought new by his father.

It will be on show at a fair somewhere in his electorate.

yeah he is a real land rover nut, does all the work on it himself most of the time...

Good on him :)

There was a story about him and his Landrovers in LROI a few years ago.

someone drop him a note to join AULRO :)
although he could already be here under a pseudonym... hmm...

maybe we should run a book on which member he is!

I don't think so - he lives in Gunnedah not Emu plains. (and is my local member until he retires on 24/11)

G'day All, And with the sort of money he will retire on he could afford to pay me to restore another one cheers Dennis

just one? :o

or,

there could be a buyer for that $220k collection in tassie!
:angel:

[EchiDna]

can't be ron, he only recently got the 2a in his signature line... :)

although he doesn't complain too much about the cost of maintaining the p38... just the number of problems... hmmm... the plot thickens.

If we kept all our used parts, and added up the bills I think most of us would have a $220k collection.

Anyway I'd love to see a pic of this Land Rover of his. Nothing prettier than a concourse Series 2 in my humble'.

G'day Folks :)

There was a pic of him and "ANDA" from Landrovers.com.au in one of there cattledogs a few years back.
