2) After decicion 1 decide on your budget and stick to it. One will present itself. Of course the waiting period is inversly proportional to the budget!
I am a tight arse and dont ever spend more than I have to on anything hence the money and money .I know what I want to pay, yet I would hand over a bit more for a good one like on Ebay down Bunbury way if it was a 2g cheaper.



I waited 20 years for my LRPV but I got one in the end and it's a ball tearer! Within my budget too!!!
All things come to those who wait it took almost 20 years to get my Mosquito Sailplane I bought it a mess and now it looks like a new one.

I thought so 600 ckd . Its a bit of a mess but worth a drive in the new 90 to pick it up. Anyone got a car trailer they can hire out for a few bottles of vino and a wheelbearing repack.

Mike

Splendid work!

My 107" is 57261794 - 1955 Basic Vehicle RHD Export.

Will be interesting to compare the two and see how a CKD and a fully assembled vehicle from roughly the same period compare.

What sort of condition is it in? I know of a couple of 86" that might have a donor engine.

Oh, I'm not worried Mike. I have an uncanny knack of turning up rare Landies.

I'm thinking pre-production model privately imported to Oz...........

Yes I have looked at that one 1948 pre production $29,950 pounds or $38,000 Ausy dollars before you put it on a boat to Perth. Bit pricey for me Cliffy .
Some of the others for sale in the UK are probably a good deal depending on shiping cost.. Could make a nice trip out of it visitthe son in laws parents,drive his porche ,hop over to Paris to get some doggy do on me shoe,visit the wifes rellys in Holland , hmmm pick up a new glider in Germany .

Im getting a few more pics but i know its rusty and has a holden motor . But the photo sent so far doesnt look so bad .I know where I can get a new bulkhead. Has a spare chassis as well if i can fit it on the trailer.

There has been a few 107 wagons come up in NZ recently. That would be my ultimate S1....sooo ugly but sooo beautiful at the same time!
