    Stage one V8 at work

    Just a picture of my stage one carting firewood on the farm, best ebay purchase Ive ever made!
    We cart around 11 ton a year with the old ute.

    She would make a brilliant farm ute with the 3.5 V8 rumbling away. I would love a stage 1 but I've already got too many land rovers hanging around the place. I'm only 15 and I've got a Series IIA a Series III and a Range Rover. I've heard that they are far better for heavy loads than a normal series.

    Looks like a nice Stage One. Any mods or is it pretty original? What is one worth like yours on E Bay these days?

    It's all stock standard, however it is running on straight gas, I have 600 acres of really steep country and it still surprises me where it will go, even loaded up.I bought it unregistered with a new radiator, brakes, wiring and shocks and bushes for $1800, pretty good value I thought! And it sounds bloody terrific!

    Gee they certainly have increased in value over the last 10 years. I picked mine up for $1500 and it has been an awesome vehicle. It is only now that I am spending some money on it to get another 30 years of life out of my 1981 Stage One. And I have to agree Summiit that the sound of that Rover v8 purring away in a Series 3 leafer is an awesome sound. Perfect vehicle for what you are doing with it on your sheep farm.

    Regards Warrick.

    Tim you need to fix up your rear number plate.

    Pop - I am thinking Warricks Stage 1 is ex Navy if that colour is original.
