    Show Us Your Series Truck

    I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to see more Series Landy's from AULRO subscribers, and so because there is a 'Show us your Deefers' page I thought it'd be nice to get back to the father, grand father and great grad father of the Defender. I'd like to include any variation of Series I/II/IIa/III and Stage One vehicles Forward cabs included. Some info about it would be great and any photos too, whether new or from the last century, in action or parked in the driveway.

    I'll start it off.

    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.

    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........



    My wife signed me up to Land Rovers Anonymous
    "Hello, my name is Colin, I haven't purchased a Land Rover for the last 6 months........"
