Thread: Look at what I just picked up

They had colour coded pillars up til 74, early example are rare as rocking horse **** in Aus. as they were only imported from 1972. The a and b pillars were still body colour til about 82 when the they painted them back a-la 4 door models. Early models are distinguishable by the diff lock button which has the light in the button as on later models they're on the dash which is more common set up. Later 2 door models also had the one-piece aluminium side window frame (not the tailgate) an improvement on the earlier rust prone 3 piece unit that falls apart when you try to dismantle it

Hard to get pre-74 but any 2 door Rangie classic is becoming a bit of a hard find without rust (don't look I QLD, most are rooted with rust after plenty of trips to Straddie and Fraser, etc.. ).

Trav

This one is a 78 model which has spent a lot of time on the beach, the price was right but it will need extensive rust repairs.
Other than that it is straight and mostly complete/original.
I won't be starting any work on it for a while, too many jobs on the go this year.

I think the 73-75 Triumph Racing Green is the nicest...

Whats the difference between a Range Rover and a Cattle Dog ?

There is none; they both like a ride home on the back of the truck after a day out....
