AULRO restoration weekend at Rangiers?

Easo
I remember starting my first job in 1970 & the boss asked what my interests were & I said Landrovers & he said OH a Leyland brother !!
So maybe its a 69 model?
Birdwood swaps vehicles for displays with other Museums from time to time. It may be possible to re-united them for an anniversary at some time in the future.
I'll have a chat to the Birdwood people next time I'm there.
So Tony, let us know if it's a done deal. I'm sure there's a long que behind you
Congrats (if not premature) on a unique purchase.
regards
Mick
I know this is not the one but I have been googling around to see if I can find any later vehicles that may be the one.
Thought I'd post it up anyway cos it's such a nice shot. (Sorry if it's a repeat)

I believe it had a holden 6 in it. (161?)
Love the spare wheel holder on the roof - is that an oil cooler on the bonnet?
Does the Series 2 still have its 2.25?
Close, I've been told its a 71.Quote:

As we passed we heard "Strewth, how did they make it up here in those!".
Toyota fans, they're so rude.
