56 land rover 110's for sale

[lardy]

hi guys anyone interested in 56x pre-loved land rover 110's soft top new canvas !!
I found them a few weeks back and have been trying to broker a deal with the guy.
As you can see they are ex military and would still have Australian landing fees dunno what these are yet will call a shipping agent.
Draw back they are 2.5 N.A. not defender 2.5 tdi
I would suggest that the foot well needs some fabrication.
The dumb arse tried to tell me they were 1990's land rover Defenders.
They are supossed to be around 60,0000 odd miles on the clock.
I reckon i can get them for 7-8kAUD top line maybe cheaper.
Thought they might do a good turn for someone trying to get hold of a landy for the first time.
Should i get any other info i will post it.
Pictures attached ...i hope... regards Andy

the 2.5 na is an ideal candiate for series use and the alterntor alone is worth its weight in gold.

definately interested if he winds up parting stuff out.

A few more pics...

[lardy]

dave whole motors, only stuff broken is following:Price for engine is US$1800
Axle are US$950 per pair. plus shipping i am guessing and also i would guess it would be more faverable shipping wise to be in the west N.T. or maybe QLD

[lardy]

Thing is dave i guess we have use our powers of mass purchase here so we all get a slice of the cake

[HBWC]

sounds interesting
mmm thinking

[LandyAndy]

I doubt that they can be imported to be registered.
We covered this a few times regarding cheap Japanese delivered Landies(Rangies,Defenders,Discos).
Unfortunateley to import they need to be cut in half before they are shipped was the general concensus.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[lardy]

Yeah Andy, i am looking into that as the regs are 89 i think for a cut off point anything more modern would be an issue i have read it online somewhere trouble is matey is having trouble confirming age i may get a VIN off him regards Andy

[Sleepy]

Sounds interesting Lardy.

Lots of info here: Eligibility Criteria (http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/importing_vehicles/general/EligibilityCriteria_2.aspx#one)


You can import any vehicle manufactured before 1 January 1989 without restriction, but you still need a Vehicle Import Approval for it to enter Australia ...

just fit them all with hand controls and import them as disability needs vehicles is a bit of a loop hole

I reckon these are old enough to get in on the normal import allowance they are not in the u.k. they are 4 hours away from me ....go on guess

[Ranga]

hmmm... not sure where in WA you are, but I'll hazard a guess...

Indonesia?

or Christmas Island?

or New Guinea?

G'day Folks :)

East Timor, possibly ex -Bruni from about 1998, when the Lightweights came in there was also 101's series and Bedfords,if they are those, they were originally landed in Darwin in a dirty condition,there was quite a saga about these vehicles, but I know that a quantity of the Landrovers were in a car yard in Dili in 2000/2001 ;)

cheers

EX mill = end user cert ?????

There could be a few (hopefully minor) problems with getting them on the road here. That engine was never sold in Australia, and there may be a question as to whether it meets the relevant ADRs - and proving it!. Same applies to the rest of the vehicle, but it should be fairly easy to find out what if any changes were made for the similar ones in Australia. These would be likely to include such things as seat belts, but there may be other strange items.

Just had a quick read of this, and heres my views, i have priced up bringing in some Land Rovers from the Uk, as long as they are pre 89, then its not too much of a problem, they will have to meet the customs regs, and would require a compliance plate, and state rego. If all of your land rovers are of the same kind, then you could have a limited compliance cert done that would cover all of them, then sell them on.

As for your shipping costs, the uk ones would be 1500 pounds shipping then around 1500 Oz here, plus the cost of the car, is it worth it, i think it depends on what you are wanting to bring in, we are currently looking at some older S2/3 fire engines, but these will be for private use, and not for resale.

The ones we were looking at bringing in for resale were S2/3 LWB blood wagons, for possible camper conversions, for a client in Brisbane, with the ADF releasing some Land Rovers soon, the market my become alittle too flooded.

[Sleepy]

Juddy, I get the feeling the ADF won't want to flood the market either and will release their Defenders in small tranches. I reckon they'll be snapped up pretty quick too.(He says, putting another $2 into his money box)

Or as I had mentioned to me yesterday, perhaps the ADF won't sell them at all, instead giving them away as part of an aid package to some other country...

[EchiDna]

I'm guessing they are in/from one of singapore/indonesia/malaysia/brunei... more likely the later...

[lardy]

The top money goes to .............EchiDna...but i am in two minds as he must have covered anything 4 hours away from W.A.
So what are you thinking gents is it a goer ?
The guy must be having a **** time moving them because he keeps trying to forward my an invoice well suggesting that he sends one ....he just got back to me ...I forgot to inform you that we can load 3 Land Rover 110 in the 20' Container.
If you can get some members to join in the order, freight still the same.
You buy 3 and share the freight.


That sounds helpful but without seeing them, plus i would need a couple of pays overtime to come up with the readies.....dave works for the RAF +A so he should get cheap flights lol

If i was looking at bringing in any of these the the air fair there would be worth it to check them out.... and i would dread to think what the customs cleaning bill would be., however, if they were giving then away then a 3 way split on shipping would be ok..

[UncleHo]

G'day Folks :)

If they are ex-Bruni I would make sure that they are highpressure/steam cleaned VERY WELL as the last lot that came in as I posted earlier, were filthy,mud dirt,leaves and plant matter,spiders and a small snake, result-impounded by customs/aqis fumigated,cleaned, importer handed the bill,$200,000+, and I believe that he looked at it and said "yeah, like in your dreams" and promptly left the country, they were then held by customs/aqis and later auctioned to recover their costs.

So be careful, make sure they are cleaned before departure, as as soon as they arrive here it will renew old memories and they will be BRUTAL, but they probably have to be cleaned here, as that seems to be how they operate and support their contractors;)

Just my friendly opinion ;)


cheers

[lardy]

Your probabaly dead-on big man and i have already thought of the cleaning factor.
but the thing that is doing my head in is the seller is a persistant little ******!
I keep getting emails now about invoices......As if ya ****wit i have only enquired about em sort your life out!

Dear Andy


I am waiting for your order confirmation.


We have many buyers committing their orders now and I want to make sure we ship you the car we sent you with the photo.
Our Inovice will follow.


Rgds
....If that is the case bloody sell em, don't wait on me ya king of muppetry ....maybe forced selling works in asia ...it don't work with me that's for sure ;)

[HBWC]

Twas on my mind old chap....

[UncleHo]

G'day Lardy :)

If I were you and if you are contimplating a purchase or a group purchase I would be investing in an airfare, then you could sight the vehicles and check the bonofides of the seller,they maybe buckets of Pu--
and or they could be hot, IE lost from the Govt holding yard whilst the Govt is negotiating with other parties, at the least you could oversee the cleaning before shipping


Just my opinion

cheers

[lardy]

I am with you uncle ho, totally to my mind they are too bloody hard work, i would probably get a converted from N.A. diesel from liveridge or PA Blanchards at least you have complete come back and i can buy it use it on holiday in the u.k. and then ship it back with no worries.
This guy seems to eager too pushy.
Almost like a nigerian internet scam lol, if anyone wants his details i would pass em on to ya but he would more than likely send you an invoice lol.
Regards Andy
