Thread: Found this

Hi She looks most likely to be in the range of vehicles R8666000 to R06111546. I see that the id plate is the third plate down screwed to the bulkhead on the passenger side, if you can still read it. It should normally be under the bonnet on the passenger side or the chassis number on the LHS engine mount if its stil there.

Thats a nice little find, looks like someones project????

Well done mate - a very good find

Annand & Thompson vehicle it is a long way from home.

LOL I just love the crude cut to make the 86/88 hardtop fit an 80

Would something like this be worth buying, or would it be too much work? (or is that a stupid question?)

It has a sign in the back saying 'For Sale $300', but I don't know if the dude is selling it or has just bought it. He is a shift worker and wasn't home when I inspected his property.

Very much worth buying, what you are looking at is the very first type of landrover

Not sure that I agree completely Mick as there appears to be quite a few parts missing not to mention the Holden engine. The body is dented; the roof is wrong and the axles, etc. need checking to make sure they are the right ones. Worth buying certainly but I think $300 is excessive, unless the right engine and ancillarys come with it.

By comparison; my 80", whilst extensively rusted, has a very straight body original engine, axles and gearboxes, with only the fuel pump; hood bows; and wiper motor missing - it cost me $200.
