Thread: Stage ones...how many?

In short, Stage 1's are collectable.
Pop on over to the "Stage 1" forum and say gidday.

I did not think they came with a factory tray top or bullbar. They came with a factory ute tub back and a bumper bar on the front.
is yours a v8 or diesel?

I have seen a number of tray Stage 1's.

The stage 1 V8, was know as a Series 3 V8, or Series 3 , 3.5 model here in Australia.

Look out for a plate badge on the front wings.

All the V8 engines were built in the UK to OZ specs. look for 12g prefix

available in Bahama Gold, Blue, Masai Red and Sahara Dust, with silver wheels, and Arctic White Roof.

No deluxe trim was offered.

Station Wagon, and factory tray back were offered.

There was also the 3.9d based on the Stage 1 Vs, with a Isuzu 4BD1 Engines from September 1981.

Yep, v8.. The bullbar is the one that bolts onto the original bumper, the tray was according to the previous owner a factory option..

There was also the 30 or so 4.4 V8 converted by ULR of Melbourne. 109 only.

Mine was originally a 3.9D. It still has the badges on the sides.

The late Stage Ones did not have the wing badges...
