I've had my eye on a Bushfire Brigade Series IIa Landrover that's been languishing in a paddock for about 4 years, but have never been able to track down the owner. I did leave my name and number on it a while back but have never heard anything from the owner :(
So imagine how surprised I was one day a couple of weeks back, when it had been pulled out of it's resting place. Great I thought he must be thinking of selling, next day I called by and a guy had the bonnet up.
"Too late" he said, I've just bought it. In the next minute he fired it up and it was running :eek:
Apart from the doortops being rusty, some wiring eaten by rats and some door rubbers perished, it's a rustfree 14,000 mile timewarp complete with all fire equipment in tack.
You can guess how I felt............
