Last time he sold a S1 Governor he suggested he also had the brackets, which you could buy At the same price as the final winning bid!Quote:

Hi there Diana
from memory the govenor went for big $$$$'s they seem to be a sort after accessory of the S1's
All the best

I think that it has more to do with the fact that they needed maintenance and if you weren't using the PTO then they got removed and thrown. The vehicles survived as did the PTO which was big so it didn't get lost.Quote:

Caveat Emptor
Dave Darcey (the seller) is the guy I bought my "Baby" from. He is a really nice guy who has/had a few 86/88s. When I bought my car he still had an 86 that was in bits. He is moving over to lwb series 1s and has bought up most that were available in the Goulburn area.Quote:

During the 50th I was fully involved with my career and study for a higher degree so I missed any promotion for the event. What a nice break, Easter at Cooma would have been. If I have something to do with it no Land Rover owner on the South Coast around Nowra or at my hospitals campus will be unaware of the event. (I have a box of fliers on my back seat.) I guess ebay is another way of promoting it.

G'day All, In the background of 1 of the pix is a S2A ??88/109" ex-mil Land Rover that is not for sale, this is in MC's backyard he may know of it or it could be him selling as I don't know his ebay id:p anyway cheers Dennis:wasntme:
G'day All, Some one has already relieved it of it's Capstan winch:mad:, looks like he was a buyer and bit off more than he could handle at any one time, (look in the background of his pix) also has a S3 109 ex-mil 4 sale and it doesn't look like it's had any attention in the recent past just my observations:angel: cheers Dennis:wasntme:
It might be ex-mil but I agree most unlikely to be ex Aust Mil.Quote:

These pics are of a genuine ex mil series 1 88
G'day All, NM I would say that the hoodsticks are a homemade jobbie and not a good one at that, IMHO they are way too tall, and maybe the seller is trying to cash in with the 60th just down the road, anyway buyer beware in both cases as all I can see is a huge amount of work/&$$$$$$'s in either of them cheers Dennis:wasntme::angel:
I've seen that vehicle running when it was at Horsham. The PO was a serious LR collector and is kids learn't to drive around the paddocks in it.Quote:
