Thread: Watch Your Parts!!!!!

For sale,

860004, the first land rover to come to Australia, POA serious collector required, the excisting owner does not care if it stays in Australia or goes anywhere i the universe!!!

Well, it appears first offer is here for us, so if not taken up I would assume it makes it hard for us to complain?

Im not taking a side either way but prefer them to stay here, as stated though stuff being ignored nowdays here (Ill come back to that one day) goes to get stuff going again somewhere....at least its not wasted..just moved!

Wish I had the 'spondoolicks' for it! (not that I have any idea what it would go for!)

cheers

Hi there Tom

Many thanks for the offer - but already have two many projects, not enough cash and limited spare time.

But if it was a Fire Engine, well thats would be a different story

all the best

Just to be clear it is nothing to do with me. just letting you know, and sometimes people just dont care what happens to historic stuff, they only see dollar signs

Isn't R860004 the vehicle that came from Boulder Mines and was re-built in the 1980's for a round Australia trip using a lot of 1950 parts?

Are the early bits still with the vehicle?

BTW: Didn't 002, 003 and 005 also come to Oz?

Yep thats it.

For its over Oz trip for the 50th when it was rebuilt, the owner fitted later S1 Engine Gearbox and axles as he was worried about breaking something rare.

The original axles and gearbox were with the vehicle and the box is Pre Pro No R37.

The engine was a very early 49 side plate and had been in the vehicle a long time.

These parts were set aside for a rainy day.

Production 5 and 26 were the other very early vehicles and both to Regent Motors Melbourne
