Thread: Hello, from the U.S.

    Hello, from the U.S.

    A few pics of my 1971 Series IIa 109 RHD. I'm new to the rover forum and looking for pointers on tracing the history of the vehicle. Is the Queensland plate the real deal? My understanding is there were about 3,000 vehicles of this series made. Is that remotely true? Any feedback is much appreciated.

    Enjoy,
    Seattle WA. USA

    Welcome mate - that roo bar looks like one I used to own for olmate; I left it at a mates place in Darwin (for scrap) about 5 or 6 yrs ago. It was a home made job that was pretty good on the early series veh.

    This photo was taken on a week hunting trip along the Daly River NT. We were out chasing pigs and fishing.

    Given the colour - I would say it is an ex Navy landie. That colour was not standard in Australian landies - however it was the standard Navy colour - also the safari roof.

    Gday and welcome to oz landroverin'!!

    Its definately a qld plate, re the history, I reckon it maybe worth a 'trip' to REMLR (thats on this forum, register of ex military landrovers (aussie/nz etc)


    someone may be able to give you more details on your vehicle....or even with a chassis no, if its recorded (navy less than army but..) may give you service details etc... if nothing else there is the chance of photos of similar ones in service.....

    by the way ---it looks great...

    cheers
