Thread: Help ARB find an Icon!

I think you may be finding that with the end of production in sight for the Defender, and almost all new ones that are going to be coming to Australia already sold, existing owners are realising that if they let go of their Defender, they will not be able to replace it. Hence the problem you are having finding one.

I'm inclined to think that the best bet may be a Perentie, as gromit suggested.

Australian built.
Served in the Australian Army.
Named after an Australian Lizard.
Iconic.

what shop are ARB going to use to build it? Mandurah will be the best I think 90 percent of all the big builds are done at our shop and I will volunteer to do it. Joe runs a good shop and I think it would be good for him to retire on a build like this

Hey gezza, the boys at Canning Vale are handling this, although you are more than welcome to liaise with them directly.

Also, a heads up to everyone, we have just had our offer accepted on a tidy 1995 110. More details will hit our blog when we have possession of the vehicle.

Thanks to the entire AULRO forum for helping out. It's going to be an exciting journey moving forward.

Cheers,
Dave

Some "progress" pics posted to this thread as the build goes would be fantastic
