Series III 10/1977
Originally 6 cyl. but it's been converted by a previous owner to a V6 Triton/Pajero married to a Supra 5 speed gearbox by a D1 bell housing. I average 14-16L/100klm.
I haven't had the privilege to take her off road yet but I hope to soon (repairs have put adventures with her on the hold for now). I drove her from Brisbane to Melbourne within 24hrs and loved it. The only thing I'd give her up for is my dream version of her, by converting her back to a style side ute with a possible 300TDi aswell as some other minor changes.

Here is my S3 SWB 1974, 2.25 petrol

And now -

My new to us Series2a Wide Light,,,She's just arrived home 🏡, so a good time to start this thread

This is DaOot who lives with TBC in Townsville.



This is Matilda who will be TGC vehicle when she's old enough to drive.

In the meantime Matilda helped me take some stuff to the dump on the weekend.

these are mine the 1976 series 3 ex Telecom 109 waiting to be restored the 1960 series 2 kooringgai chase (nsw parks wildlife) is is at chassis repair stage now

First cab off the rank - 1961, Series II, ute... Purchased from an 80 year old farmer in Benalla in Country Victoria. It took 2 years to do a rolling restoration:



Second - 1960 Series II SWB... Purchased from a farmer in Elmore (country Victoria) - it was his first car. It took 4 years to do a more in-depth(down to the chassis) restoration:



Next - 1976 101 Forward control.. Purchased from the UK about 3 years ago, used regularly for camping. Lots of mods done to it:



And lastly - a Stage One V8 Station Wagon, project in waiting...

It all started off with a Defender. 40 years living in the UK without a Land Rover, arrived here and soon had my first.




This came next, a Series I 1956 with a lot of home made mods by the first owner.




Made it to Cooma in 2008, not sure whether to drive or tow it there for 2018.




A few details here 1956 Series 1 with PTO welder (home made)

Next was a Series III FFR.




Still a 'work in progress'. FFR Refurb

Then a Series IIa GS.




Another 'work in progress'. 2a GS Refurb ARN 178-334

Then a Series III shorty with an Isuzu C240 motor.




This took a while to get back on the road. I had to get a flywheel machined up & balanced, repair threads in the conversion plate, rebuild the gearbox. On Club Permit but still needs some cosmetic work.
A long thread here Isuzu C240 powered Series 3

Then 'finally' a Series IIa Dormobile.



I've spent some money gathering parts, done a lot of work on the axles & brakes and will get it back on the road soon. Walter the Dormobile


I've temporarily owned & parted out a couple of others but........
