Watch Your Parts!!!!!

QUOTE=clean32... If a LR wreck is exported and then lovingly restored, that’s brilliant. Better than sitting under a gum rotting away like so many of then are....QUOTE

I agree - which is a corollary of my first post in this thread.

Hi all,

Interesting discussion. I tend to agree that legislation is the last resort for anything. I kind of like the present Federal Parliament situation where it looks like they won't be able to do anything for a while. :)

However it is a good heads-up if it is true that there is a significant movement of vehicles O/S. This has happened to Peugeots, particularly 504s, which have disappeared in large numbers to Africa in recent years. Not sure they have a huge amount of historical value, however if one were to be an admirer and want to restore one, as I have a couple in the past, this becomes very difficult (i.e. expensive) when the parts cars disappear.

So the lesson is, if this trend is factual, and if you want to be able to restore old Landies in future, buy the wrecks you can now. They will seem very cheap later.

Cheers,
Lane.

R860194 = UK
R860750 = VIC
R861089 = NSW
R861090 = VIC
R861265 = VIC
R861277 = VIC
R861279 = VIC
R861921 = VIC
R862925 = SA
R862924 or R862926 = QLD

So 860194 is in the uk, in the lish here you havent put that 860175 now lives in Adelaide, and L48 in Perth, and also 860130 which could have been a private import early in its life, Land rover were made for export, and I guess that is still very much the case, even with 1948 models!!
