You must have a very good L322... This is a sedan; add 20-30k for a 2 door.

Thats them,some had a crane arrangement on the rear.
One eventually pulled the LWB Series 3,we had at the time, out of Eli Ck,with another Series LR on the front helping.

There is actually a dump of a lot of the logging/sand mining machinery on the island,including a few LR bits and pieces,a short walk from one of the main tracks.
Very interesting for those that are interested in that sort of equipment.Pretty tough on machinery in those days,lots of broken diffs,etc,etc.

On the island, corrosion would have been a big issue, on top of the mechanical torture.
I can remember when every saw mill seemed to have a Blitz.

That was the asking price, but what did you actually pay?
