Thread: CSKs in Aus?

I gather you're referring to the UK CSKs (if it's the 2 door you saw).


If so, they're rare out here.


On the other hand, if you're talking about the Aussie CSK, then there's a fair few out here.

yes the "real" csk two door in black only 200

That was a long time underwater.

I have seen one of the real CSK's over here in Perth.

The owners brought it out from the UK when they moved here.

The Aussie CSK was not much more than 4 door with chrome bumpers and some stickers from memory. The uk 2 doors on other hand, if you can get a real one, with only 200 made, worth keeping.

I bought a 4 door RRC (HSE?) with a "CSK" sticker on it around 3 years ago, a 1989 model which was ostensibly originally ordered and owned by an ostentatious Perth Rover agent. Said to have been awarded to his long serving mechanic/accomplice on retirement and subsequently stored in a Victorian shed for 15 years. Sounds about as dodgy as the cable tie, tech screw and insulation tape jobs that the 3rd owner administered to the unfortunate hulk. It has just ticked 90000k - 12k of these ours. The interior would match the story - very neat apart from where Owner III has modified things with his cordless drill. We love it.

Anyway as the supposed 4th owner of what I consider a "Faker CSK", I possess a pretty good example of an HSE (?). Why you would bother imitating a CSK with a 4 door, or at all, I do not know. It doesn't even have leather apart from covering the SAAS steering wheel. But it was the low k's and general condition that won me and is certainly one of the neatest RRC any of my friends have ever owned - out of around 20-25 of them. only oil on the ground after a couple months in the shed is from the LH swivel. Handles beautifully on/off road even with the lift.

Photo attached is at purchase ... the sand shovels pictured were replaced with less deafening L/T tyres, aerials x3 were attached to nothing (getting the picture?!) and thus removed ... and that roof tent did nothing for economy or camping out with 2 young kids. Added Timmy Traxide's dual batt mgt system and headlight upgrade wiring as well as a new on board ARB compressor for rear diff locker. Just finished upgrading fuel pump, lines and filters to the 130 litre ARB tank.

I'll be selling it likely in favour of a Perentie ... Our RRs are largely kept at the coast in the shack shed but this one was bought as a commute when we lived regionally. We can't really justify the 900k round trip to the shack 3x a year then sitting her in the city garage in and she is far too good to leave in the shack shed, unlike an older Landy.

Looking at the fuel filler flap, it's at least a 1991 model so could well be a 'genuine' Australian CSK - they were released here as JA/1992MY cars.
Officially, they were only available in black or white but I know of one dealer who made their own CSKs in whatever colour you liked.
