    Say Hello to Darwin

    A neighbour has very kindly given me this as a freebie. It was his partners ex who just got up and left one day and isn't interested in anything that was left. Neighbour was fed up with it taking up room in the shed. It has roof and windows , tailgate, one rear bench seat , non original front seats , bonnet. That's it , I think. Sadly (for me) a Holden and almost but not quite hit my Birth year of 1961 (143001169). There was a little figure stuck to one of the wiper motors which my Grand kids reliably inform me is called "Darwin", I think from some Rug-Rats movie? So continuing on in the tradition of naming all my Land Rovers after Cartoon Characters - that's its name.
    cheers,
    D

    A Jesus bar is a grab handle for the passenger.

    Blasphemy!

    Going through the stuff in the rear tub and found this! To be fair , it does have a Holden Red in it.
    cheers,
