    It's just too much work to explain that eveyone calls it a RRC, even me and there are some RRC's about but this isn't one of them although it looks the same as a RRC but the 'proper' classic was built between 94 and 96, (it was 96 wasn't it?)

    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.

    My understanding was that the P38a was released at the end of the 1994 production year (August 1994) and that the original shape was continued in parallel for another 12 months, I guess that is the 1995 production year with the early vehicles being produced from August to December 1994 (1994 build, 1995 year model). 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.

    The Enfield NSW plant was still assembling Land Rovers in 1982, they were badged "Leyland" and the diesel "2.3 litre". The 3.9 you talk about was the Isuzu 4BDI engine and that was ONLY assembled in NSW. In fact a unique Australian specification.

    I believe that Leyland Trucks were absorbed into the IVECO conglomeration and were producing Leyland badged vehicles in the UK, just as IVECO produces Fiat badged trucks in Italy and Renault badged trucks in France or even International badged trucks in Australia.

    The 3.9 denotes an Isuzu diesel engined Series 3 Stage 1 of 3.9L capacity (4 cyl) This engine was only fitted to Australian Stage 1's and coil sprung 110's.

    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.
