Digger's next Series 1, 80" 1950.

If you don't go for it Digger I will have to start worrying a bit more about you.
I wouldn't pay full price though as I reckon those tyres may need some attention before you get a roadworthy.
You have access to other series bits and it looks pretty good and solid really so there is no real problem (with the car at least - marital bliss, I stay well out of any discussions).
In the end it will be well worth it, more so than a lot of others purely because of its age.
(Full time 4WD too, just like the Puma!)
If you get it for $1k you have a bargain, as stated above.
Regards
Glen

Fuel tank base was only spot I could see real rust, firewall seemed good from top to bottom.

Badge looks properly made...

Agreed price wise.Looks in good condition for age. The badge on the front guard I think was dealer fitted, (don't know which one )abit like Annard and Thompson painting land rover on the tail gate and the drivers front guard of their early 80"s they sold. I've seen photos on here but can't find them again.
Wheres Diana ! She would know. Maybe this should be moved to the series one section.

My budget is short of that but I am hoping to get someone to bid for me anyway...

If I cannot find someone I shall have to ditch playing cricket and go myself!

(Which, frankly I would maybe enjoy... even though we may make the finals...I'd be alright with that but we are short for players at the moment....sad isnt it?)

That badge is close to what I remember was fitted to the 80" that a, long time deceased, friend Les Wells owned.

I am looking forward to the resto pics already!:cool::D

If that vehicle is home market model that would indicate it was a private import,possibly a station owner in UK purchased it and had it shipped home,as it would sure beat riding a horse the mudguard badge alone would make it unique and with it's originality I would advise you to go for it,vehicles that age and that complete don't come up that often.

Just my thoughts, pity it is so far from me.
