haha yeah good point
wasnt thinking exactly like an immaculate one.. haha..
although that would be a nice thing to want to have at some stage.
will keep on looking then.. maybe there will be one within 10 years..
Although what im looking for doesnt exactly have to be perfect condition
maybe i could try to get something from the LR series IIa or III

I saw an immaculate d1 at one of the workshops in perth. Had been kept in a time machine. Apparently was from a deceased estate and had been held in storage for all this time. Had only 35,000 original km on it. Had a few things done to it to bring it up to scratch but was absolutely immaculate and sounded beautiful. That’s the vehicle you want.

Not necessarily. Long term storage isn't very good for vehicles because parts deteriorate from lack of use - seals, gaskets, hoses, rubbers etc (and in particular suffer badly.
haha yeah and about 20k's worth of repairs to rust etc afterwards..Nah! .. just a really .. reeaalllyy! .. long snorkel should do it!
Although that does sound appealingpity its not in NZ
although, if i get a bit of speed up (not possible with the 300tdi), and then jump off uluru (maybe not), and then land on the side of mt Cook and i might make it. Then straight to get it registered.
being serious though, was it a 300tdi or a v8?

Like i said, needed a few things done to it but when i saw it was up n running and beautiful
how much spending do you estimate that it needs?Like i said, needed a few things done to it but when i saw it was up n running and beautiful

Don’t know. Was all done by the time i saw it but it was very nice. Everything inside as well. Looked like what it would have looked like when it came out of workshop

SubscriberSeries Landies are hard core! No power steering, air con, sound or heat insulation. Not very fast on the open road, but very capable in the bush, and can carry heavy things a long way! I've had a few over the years. They have a way of casting a spell over you!haha yeah good point

If the Missus would allow it, I'd have one in a heartbeat
