it looks pretty good. for 5k would be fairly good. but maybe even 6k would be ok if it runs well

:) It does look OK doesnt it?...unsure its not one they had up before and may have had some work.
You still have time to join the Land Rover 48-53 register and receive the next issue of "Full Grille", then you can see what is still being found in WA!Quote:

Belonged to his g/father, still runs and he wont sell, reckons he wants to keep using it for the kids to drive on the farm!!!... I have offered a running/registerable S3 109 hardtop 6cyl in exchange even offered to put new wiring loom through but he wont budge.... Looks like his kids will be driving around in it in the paddocks and around the shearing sheds etc...
(I am still checking but I may have a spare suitable tank and windscreen but am not sure want to part with them! will keep talking to him about it-- they are nice people and I dont think will trash it for no reason etc..)
Didnt get the numbers... dated via radiator/generator and grille (lights thru grille model) and I take their word that it is as it has always been since g/dad had it... apparently he didnt like the talgate and swapped it fairly early, they cannot locate the metal one..
LR053 should be able to tell us but I remember something about wooden tailgates being standard on a certain chassis range from a certain dealer. Does it have the land rover logo painted on it?Quote:

The 86" is just a shell but the 107 is about 95% complete and in pretty good nick.
Both had great bulkheads and chassis as they came from station country.
And i just found an 80" + 86".
Plenty of Series 1's in WA.
great! I need a pair of front guards and a tub :) (for an 80")Quote:
