What's the red boxie looking thing above the Merc? Looks like it could be some kind of old plane (?)

Yes Mick both 250S models - there is another one behind the one in the photo.

Going back tomorrow so will dig through the shed & see what we can find.

It is a DH83 Fox Moth fuselage. I thought everyone had one in the shed rafters:D.

Oh well, very similar design!

John

I am not the least bit envious....

:p:p:p

(Would still prefer the 'plane, if it was all there....)

Original tyres on the Rangie?

Yes a great find and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious. :) Not for sale by any chance?
Overheating issue could be a seized thermostat if its been sitting that long.

Incredible find - the kind of thing you dream about. I have a soft spot for unmolested 2 door Rangies, they are such an elegant design.

A couple are original, but most & it has 4 spares are 198? something. One of the originals has a date stamp 116, which has me beat!

The original & previous owner took the vehicle across the centre from Perth to Alice when he first got it back in 1977, hence the number of spares & roof rack full of jerry cans.
