    Well now I've got a 55.

    I sold the 54 onto a friend of mine. I just wasnt having the time I wanted. And I wanted a concours looking one after watching for the love of cars. lol.

    got this 55 in melb. Ex forrestry. still need to pick it up and need to paint body.

    but chassis, motor,box,brakes and axles all rebuild with new parts when possible. looking forward to this one. I'm parking it at the dealership showroom when its done.

    Very nice!
    I was just wondering if you could get a couple of measurements for me?
    I need to know the distance from the rails edges of the gearbox brackets on the gearbox crossmember and also the distance from the rails to the centre of gearbox mount bolts on both sides

    Would be much appreciated
    Cheers Shaun

    That is great, I wish my 55 was that together.
    You may have a bit of fun getting the wiring to the back as someone has installed a rubber gromit and not put any wire or string to pull it through by the look of it. It's next to the towing plate.

    Show and Tell was an event of the Landrover Club of the ACT that was held back in late September in the park on the Molongolo River opposite Duntroon.

    Here is the LR Club Website A Club for any make - Land Rover Club of the ACT - Meetings are held first Monday of each month at 8.00pm at the Eastlakes Footy Club. There is a developing subsection for "Series" vehicles within the club.

    Cheers
