If you want an example, the locomotive on the following web page was repatriated from Aus illegally and went through a number of hands before ending up at the railway which restored it.
The BWLR - Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway
This locomotive has no cultural significance to the UK, being a French built locomotive serving its entire working life in Queensland. In the UK it may have been built last week, the significance is the same.
If you read Old Glory, a UK magazine on machinery preservation, you might notice just how many of the restored machines were repatriated from foreign shores.

lets go get it back i reckon a couple of landies could pull that small guage effort into a container

that is my point why would you bother coming here to rape and pillage, when you have a multitude of near authentic new old stock and the like in the u.k.
And you can get chassis for landies for a grand in the uk properly engineered cheap

I think we all need to sit back and calm down, Yes I'm guilty too.

However name calling and direct personal attack is not acceptable. You know who it is.

The next one in this thread will receive an infraction.

I do wish that the Administration would not beat around the bush when trying to indicate which one of us is being convicted of unkown crimes "you know how it is" does not really help please elaborate so we can keep within the forum confines thanks

so does he manufacture these from scratch on a jig or are they remanufactured and are they only series ???

If anyone involved in an export does wish to do the right thing, some series Landies may fall under Category B of the Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage ACT 1986 and Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Regulations 1987. Such a Land Rover may be considered important under the area of agricultural and industrial heritage, though it is not yet likely and would have to be an outstanding item.
More details here for those that don't have anything better to do (i.e. me):
http://www.arts.gov.au/movable
Under one of the links, there is a list of items that have been refused export permission, no internal combustion road vehicles in it so far.
I am surprised the act doesn't have a heading for military/armed forces items apart from medals.
Land Rovers such as those used by the Leyland Brothers could potentially fall under the Documentary heritage heading, however it would require someone to actually notify the government department of the significance of it being more than just another old car. Luckily Rangier Rover isn't exporting his

as far as i know he just makes them from scratch for any series 1.im not sure what equipment he uses

oh he does firewalls and rear tubs for s1 aswell expensive but some times not much chose
