Thread: strange landy ute 4 sale

G'day Folks

Boundry Rd and Beaudesert Rd, that would be East Coast Autos or Cousins, from memory (same mob different names, I think, deal with ex govt vehicles) it could have a LT85 5 speed in it if it is 86/7 model, and that could be a 4BB1 retrofit.


BTW there is a white 90 at British Off Road TD5 about $38K I think.


cheers

Definitely not a Defender nor a County (County is the trim level on all 110 wagons sold in Australia). Eyeballing the wheelbase, I think it is probably a 120. The engine bay is virtually identical to my 86 County (for example the heater and the cartridge fuel filter - changed to screw on filter about then) so I would say the engine is definitely a 4BD1, but the levers do not look like the LT95 - changed to LT85/LT230 about 86.

The wheels are definitely non standard Sunraysia type, with wider than standard tyres. Doors are normal for that date - I suspect the galv trim was only fitted to the County. Steering wheel is also non-standard - probably a matter of opinion whether it is an improvement or not. Steps are, of course, non standard.

In Summary, I would say it is a late 1986 120, with significant after market modifications, kilometres agree with that date. Depending on condition, and what price it goes for, it could be a good buy for someone.

Would be a good replacement for my HJ47 that was a runaway Toyota hand brake That one is to far away for me One of the best work horses Land Rover made.

Now if someone can get out their magnifying glass, and it's anything like my 120" was, there should be a key lock for the bonnet/hood. The barrel is above the grille, just to the left of the Land Rover badge.

Sticks look similar to my late '85 County LT85/LT230.

I quized the owner who confirmed the mistake. It's a 1986 model, not a 1992 model.
