They will likely not be the correct colour but something close. ......

As near as I can tell from the pictures the colour is the same as the one I had, which was ex SMA. But I don't know if that was original or not. The original seat colour would have been a mottled grey I believe.

We don't know its history but the seats were green. Hard to tell tho if they were original or not. Numpty seems to think they should have had elephant hide on them ( grey wrinkled vinyl)

yes, thats the stuff I was thinking of, but couldn't think of either the name or a good way of describing it. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is just about unobtainable.

What a great looking beasty! You can never have too many Land Rovers!

if you have ANY garage room then you dont have enough!

No more room either in garage or under house. We were stopped for lunch in Scone and there were some council staff working in the park. One of them came over and said I know someone who has one of those and he wants to sell it. Should have given him our phone number I suppose, but he wasn't sure of age. as he initially said 1942. When I pointed out that couldn't be he then said maybe it was 1972. Only goes to show, a Landrover is recognisable as a Landrover to almost anyone.

$3750. Which for the work that has recently been done to it, we thought was reasonable. I suppose it will depend on how much more needs doing for rego.
