    Some interesting photos.

    Found this modelling forum with some quite detailed photos of some Series 1. Obviously modellers like the detail.
    Thought I'd post it up here for both reference and general interest.
    If you click on the "posts in this topic" link down the bottom, some more shots appear.

    Some interesting vehicles in the background too - Looks like some kind of sale yard in the UK.

    The Tickford is the one from the Norwegian collection that I said young Tony should have bought when he was near there. The others probably are too.
    Craddock bought up most of them and took them back to the UK.
    The Tickford had been restored before it went to Norway, left outside, and vandals have done the rest.
    Seeing it now, if I had restored it, I would be shattered.

    I remember reading that somewhere Keith, you'd wonder why anyone would put it out in the paddock even if some louts broke the windows. hey I love the hand straps, I remember hanging off those as a kid in our family HD holden wagon.

    great find Sleepy, some amazing vehicles there. Never seem to get tired of looking at old landies. Great to see what other vehicles are like.
    I like the centralised windscreen wiper, someone was thinking.
    ahhh imaging no job and no money concerns, the landies one would have.

    Yes I would have to agree with you there newhue.
    I have a "wishlist" of an early Series 1 80", Series 2a 88", S3 Lightweight, 110 Perentie, . Oh well, will probably settle for a lotto ticket and some pictures.
    At least I have the 101 to put a smile on my face
    Actually found these whilst I was looking for that weird blue tilt on the 107".

    Despite the obvious damage, I reckon that tickford would make a great restoration project.

    A dam Tickford restored is worth about as much as the whole wish list. Funny how your list is similar to mine, don't have the space or cash however.

    Being new relatively new to Land Rovers ownership, I sometimes wonder if my interest it a legitimate affair with a life long admired vehicle, or just a bit of must have western consumption. I look at the 107 and smile, and feel grateful just to have it. However I'd reckon I'd also be as grateful to slid open the doors of a decent shed and see a little collection of Land Rovers looking at me.

    Pretty sure the deluxe trim on the seats is original too. I have seen that checkered covering before.


    (Dear Diana, before you have a go at me for sideways photos - I am hotlinking to the original which is sideways)

    They look like the vehicles from the Norwegian collection purchased by John Craddock in the UK.
