101 Owners on AULRO

[101RRS]

Who on AULRO actually owns a 101?:D

So far I have identified:
Garrycol
Cooee
Dodge
101 Ron
tas101fc
Dave Jump
MudSkull
Tankradio2

So - if you own a 101 please let us know and post a pic - also tell us a bit about it.

I got "Miss Piggy" about a year ago in very poor condition. Why Miss Piggy? Because she is all butch and ruff, tuff and rugged - but sort of cute in a style all of her own.:cool:

I have managed to get the engine running reasonably well, the clutch now works and I have completely replaced or reconditioned the braking system. I have put new tyres on it.

The truck is now drivable and I have driven it around the block a few times. The brakes have not bedded in so braking is still a bit wild. I might get a permit and take it for a long drive to try and settle them down and find any other problems.

I have just about completed cutting the rust out of the rear cross member and I have just about decided to get rid of the tin roof it has on it and put a canvas top back on.

Next tasks are sort electrics, get the LPG tank tested, a general tidy up and hopefully rego. Then, get the winch going, put in the overdrive and rear locker that I have.

This is a pic of mine - as you can see - still a work in progress but we are slowly getting there.

I'm sure that there is more 101 owners than that on here .... Can't remember who though :oops:

Still, she is looking good, nice to hear that you are making some progress :D

[Lotz-A-Landies]

My friend Iain is not an AULRO member but has the 101 that used to belong to slugbait and doesn't Black Bill have a 101 project also?

Diana

[Phoenix]

bill used to haee a 101, but has a lightweight at the moment I believe.

David lean I think is active on the forum and has an extremely tidy 101. So slugbait has sold his 101, is that correct?

[101RRS]

Well lets see and hear about their trucks:D.

And I left Stusgonefishing off the list as well.

Pheonix are you able to cross reference your REMLR membership records with AULRO membership and "out" a few closset owners:D.

Garry

[Phoenix]

I had a look, and you've got all of the ones that are known AULRO users. I might check e-mails later to see if there any hiding in the wings ;)

So is when Iain going to join AULRO and show us his 101 - I have seen it and it is a very nice unit.

Garry

[Lotz-A-Landies]

So is when Iain going to join AULRO and show us his 101 Misguided II will be at the Sydney NRMA Motorfest Hyde Park South on Australia Day, I'll ask him about AuLRO/REMLR then.

I am sure that Shonky has plans to photograph all the vehicles on display.

Diana

[101RRS]

So on the basis of the responses so far we only have the following AULRO members with 101s.

Garrycol
Cooee
Dodge
101 Ron

Stusgonefishing

With a couple of 101 owners who might join AULRO.

Where are all the other 101 owners??

Garry

[Shonky]

Got anymore pics of Miss Piggy around here Garry?

I only just realised, but I am fairly sure that is the first full on shot of her I have seen. :o

Nice rig. ;)

[101RRS]

Not a lot I am afraid.

Prompted by something someone posted, I thought I'd bump this thread.
You can add me to the list Garry.

[mark_coffey]

can you add me to please 96100170A

[Mick_Marsh]

can you add me to please 96100170A
You've done it now. You'll have to start a thread on your 101.

[Sitec]

can you add me to please 96100170A

Ha! Congratulations!!! Only the Tdi left then!! the roof on yours is beautifully built.. Real coachwork, and that back door shuts with a purposeful clunk! Mine came from AJ too! So, will we see you at Melrose this year then? :)



And me please Garry!

[dseddn]

Add My 101 to the list. it is no longer for sale. It is a keeper :D

Great unit - I liked that one a lot when looking at the ones AJ was selling. Runs sweeeeet too. Love the custom timber hard top on that - a real craftsman built that.

As Mick said, start a thread on it and let us know what you will be doing to it - you're not far from Melrose either...:angel: Any chance it will be registered by Easter...:)

Oh, and Garry - add me to the list.

This is great news too!!! Was hoping to meet you and it one of these days. My new found friend with the 101 in Gawler had seen yours down in town somewhere and talked highly of it! Maybe we'll see you at Melrose too.... That's a lot of 101's there if they all show!! :D

Melrose is roughly between Pt Augusta and Pt Pirie, and its home of the SA Land Rover Show which runs from Fri morn thru Mon avo over Easter weekend. Not too far from you.... :)

Thanks all, just checked it out on the map, it is not very far from home.
It will be good to have an event close, and not a several days travel away. :D

Unfortunately I missed out on the TDI, I believe it was shipped to WA two weeks prior to Christmas!


The plan is to get it to Melrose, its just over a 2hr drive in a series land rover

[dseddn]

It looks like we are getting a few 101's in SA and most north of Adelaide.

[Sitec]

Unfortunately I missed out on the TDI, I believe it was shipped to WA two weeks prior to Christmas.

Nah you didn't.. Yours is the better vehicle. I went with my mind set on that Tdi but changed my mind once I'd seen it. It sounded ok, but the 101 rad was gone and the defender rad and intercooler were held in with cable ties... It had new Petlas tyres, but I don't think they'd have lasted long being powered by the Cummins!! :D

The Hard top on yours is well built, but if you decide to go canvas in the future, mine is near for you to copy and AJ has new tilts for reasonable coin. :)

[mark_coffey]

a new canvas from AJ was all part of the deal! and there are enough bits to hold it up.

[Mick_Marsh]

Yes Mark, you got the best of them.
I'd leave it as the hard top, if it were mine. That hard top is so well built.
Good to hear AJ sold them all.

[Sitec]

a new canvas from AJ was all part of the deal! and there are enough bits to hold it up.

Check the front of the Canvas.. Above the screen are 9 lugs. My new canvas has 7 holes, so when he gets round to returning my email it'll b going back.. Other than that, the quality seems good.

[The ho har's]

Bugger...does this mean when we had the only 101 at Melrose last year.... there are going to more this year:D

Don't forget everyone to be at Corowa for the most 101's to be there :)

March 10th - 16th;)

Mrs hh:angel:

[Sitec]

Don't forget everyone to be at Corowa for the most 101's to be there :)March 10th - 16th;)

If (and its a big if) the diesel is up and running and well tested, I'll have a go at being there. The next month or so will give me a better idea! :)

[spongie]

I own one... But like me it's in the UK

[Mick_Marsh]

I own one... But like me it's in the UK
But doesn't everyone in the UK have one?

[spongie]

No... You Aussies are nicking all the good ones out of our supply ;-)

[Mick_Marsh]

No... You Aussies are nicking all the good ones out of our supply ;-)
You're (UK people not you personally) selling them to us because we pay what they're worth.
Oh, by the way, all mine are "Australian Delivered". That is they were never in the UK forces. They were supplied by BAC to the Australian Defence Force as part of a weapons package.
I'll point out I have found some of the UK sellers do not want to sell parts to Australians. It's as if they are national treasures. In the case of historically significant 101's such as "Mabel", I can understand this, but parts?
I have toyed with the idea of importing a 101 or two to strip it for parts as others have but luckily I have not needed to do this.
Personally, I find it a rather parochial attitude. One I'm sure you do not hold.
After all, aren't we one big happy 101 family keen to assist each other in our mutual quest to restore and keep these treasures on the road?

[spongie]

Yep! rest assured my comment was made tongue in cheek... well no mostly tongue sticking out going nerrr ner nerrr nerr.

But I don't care who what or where people choose to enjoy 101s as long as they are enjoying them.

Mine is in the UK at the moment, but hopefully won't be for ever ;-)


besides, I've already insulted enough 101 owners in the UK by not counting my rivets :D:D time to share that worldwide

Oh, no! Don't tell me they're rivet counters as well!
I confess, I am a rivet counter but I do understand there are people out there who have other views.

[spongie]

In an ideal world I'd have two, my orange beasty and a completely stock standard 101.

But I'd also be rich... well... before I bought a second at least :)

If I was you, I'd buy a second one in the UK.
They'd be cheaper there than anywhere else in the world I'd wager.

Of I forgot to add a pick of ours and please add us to the list:D

Depends on your definition of cheap, but you're right. They're nt getting any cheaper though.
I bought my first GS for £1500, taxed and MOT'd with a gas system on it, and -as mentioned a few times before- still kinda regret letting it go.

The current project was taken in part payment for a job on someone else's -the bill was adjusted by £300- but it's far from complete and I've spent a bit gathering up bits to rebuild it, but been fortunate enough as I've found a lot of stuff very cheaply.

As you've probably seen there's a GS project advertised on the UK forum at £3k -for quick sale- whilst the average complete project truck tends to be at the £1500 mark.

I'm quite happy to sell 101's and 101 parts to Australia, in general the dealings I've had with you chaps out there have been great, and those of you actually buying UK 101's are genuinely decent chaps who love their Land Rovers and aren't afraid to pay when they need to.

I think most over here would consider that cheap. You would be struggling to get a road worthy (our version of your MOT) and registered unit for under $20,000 over here, and a good project vehicle for $12,000 to $15,000. Top end units with all the goodies from mid $20,000 to low $30,000 depending on fit out.

With all the interest over here for them recently, prices are only heading one direction.:)

Just the odd one that's not! :p So, Im seeing a 40' box headed this way with 6 flat pack tatty 101's, and we'll go out and find some rust free (or with less rust at least) Series LR's, Mini's and perhaps a few older Holdens etc.... and load them up and send the same box back!! :)

[spongie]

Rust free mini? Yes please.

[Homestar]

There's rust free everything's over here - as Sitec said - send us a cheap 101 and we'll send back a rust free something.:)

How about this beauty
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachments/vehicles-sale/63961d1376003534-1976-mini-s-limey.jpg

Just been sold by a fellow member - to make room for..... Yep, you guessed it - a 101. :)

Not sure what you would pay over there for a pristine, fully restored, rust free example like this?

[DasLandRoverMan]

I suspect a lot. You should see what early ones are fetching, vans and pickups even worse at a couple of grand for a rotten project.

MkI and Mk II Escorts are also good money.

[Mick_Marsh]

How much 101 would I get for a Mini?

So, this thread has been quiet for a while now... I was thinking.. Has anyone started to compile a list of known 101's in Australia....? There's a few now!!

[JayBoRover]

So, this thread has been quiet for a while now... I was thinking.. Has anyone started to compile a list of known 101's in Australia....? There's a few now!!
Ha ha. What are you getting at Simon???:D No-one bought any 101's recently? Maybe they're too high priced, not on the open market, no interest in them ... or maybe the people that have them can't bear to part with them? I know it's been a very tough decision for the seller of the one I'm picking up.

Yes, the rumours are true and I have paid a deposit on a 101:p. I'm flying to Melbourne to meet a couple of 101 owners (Gav and Mick) that will give my brother and I a lift for a couple of hours further South-East for me to collect my new pride and joy.
I have access to plenty of photo's from the current owner but I wanted to wait until I have my very own photo of "my" 101 with me in it:cool:. At the moment I could really only post a photo of 10% of the 101 as that's all I own at the moment until Friday:D. After that, you can expect a few photos for the next few years:).

[Sitec]

Well, I was not thinkin like that, but... you'll b on the list now! I know of 5 in SA, so thinkin I might start a list and anyone can add to it! No idea where to start tho! :D

[JayBoRover]

Well, I was not thinkin like that, but... you'll b on the list now! I know of 5 in SA, so thinkin I might start a list and anyone can add to it! No idea where to start tho! :D
Maybe get an admin to lock this thread and start a "MkII" version of "AULRO 101's register":nazilock:. Then just add the names to the list on the first post as each member posts with the compulsory picture of their 101:wasntme:. Alternatively GaryCol could update the first post list on this thread, but it might be tricky getting confirmation of some on the list - ie no-one seems to have heard of Dodge for quite a while (he must have lived near me but I've never seen a 101 around here) so no idea if he still has one:confused:.

Another option would be to start a list off-line like the WA Aulroian group do. This has the benefit of including phone numbers and locations if help is needed more urgently than a post on AULRO can be helpful for, but doesn't include photo's that everyone can look at. Also means that only those that are comfortable with giving out that information get to access the list. I don't know how or where it's managed, other than one member looks after it for all.

Definitely a good idea to have an updated list, with photo's, of current 101 owners in AULRO. :cool:

Yup, as Mick said, top left, click the new thread and start it with the heading you want. Mick and Gav are usually able to shift/chop/swap any mistakes etc! :)

Sometimes it's like looking in on a fairground from the other side of a plate glass window. All the attractions and none of the action. :D

Dang it. I want to be part of this elite group.

The closest I come to owning a 101 is options;
A) I own an apple laptop and the screen picture is a 101, or;
B) I know a guy who's married to the sister of my mate's wife and he has a 101.

I'll be in Darwin in about 6 to 8 weeks for a week. I'll pop around for a beer, then you can say you have a mate with one.:)

I'll bring plenty of pics.

Unfortunately I'll be flying up - I don't think I could manage the fuel bill to get it there and back at the moment.:D

There is???

Agreed 😳

I keep watching for 101s for sale they are few and far between!

But also I'm in no rush. I have time on my side 👍

I'll be in Darwin in about 6 to 8 weeks for a week. I'll pop around for a beer, then you can say you have a mate with one.:)

I'll bring plenty of pics.

Unfortunately I'll be flying up - I don't think I could manage the fuel bill to get it there and back at the moment.:D

Look forward to it!

Gosh I might even have my new old project by then.

Cheers, Adam.

Dang it. I want to be part of this elite group.

The closest I come to owning a 101 is options;
A) I own an apple laptop and the screen picture is a 101, or;
B) I know a guy who's married to the sister of my mate's wife and he has a 101.

Cheers, Adam.


might have to stick with option A for a bit yet.
