I'm the same with the RRC phrase but I just use it to suggest the body type really rather than the year it's an 81'.Quote:

See just tooooo long :D
My series 3 is an 82 model and has a Leyland plate, not that its Oz made I have no idea where it came from could be South Africa or the UK, its very intersting the variations u see in all the Series Landys, there is a Landy up the road that has 3.9 badges on the doors, its a diesel and goes like a rocket, noisy thing and blows heaps of smoke, its about the same age as mine but the body differences between the two is intersting, Leyland I imagine no longer exists?
Its easy to tell some of the RRC's that were built in OZ.
The yellow 80-81 s were painted with some Traffic Yellow they had left over from an RTA contract.
The pale green metallic 4 doors are a Holden Colour.
and the Red ones were also a Holden colour I think, or it may have been Ford Track Red.

Will agree with thatQuote:

So yes you would be correct about 1995 models, but I am unsure if the RRC continued into 1996 production, i.e. built after August 1995.Quote:

The Stage 1 was the first stage in model development from S3 to 110.
It consisted basically of a S3 body, with flush grille, mated to Range Rover running gear. ie V8, or later the 3.9 Isuzu, LT95 gearbox with associated RR transfer case. 3.54 diffs, being constant 4wd, like RR, but complete with drum brakes and leaf spring suspension.
They were available as 5 door SW, 3 door hardtop and 2 door tray back.
Thanx Numpty thats been bugging me for a while the ol stage 1 biz
