The highway transfer box is a real bonus So i wouldnt leave it parked to long at my place :D:D..

Also find out what holden engine is in it . I'd say it would be a red engine of 186 or 179 both good engines could be a red 202 thats what i got in Harry..

Also see if the head has been done for unleaded fuel that will save you having to add the adative..

Ask where does it leak when it rains as it will leak they do that from the factory i think it was designed into them its called self cleaning or washing for the inside..

You'll also notice a lot of play in the steering wheel even if its been rebuilt .Karen used to fight it in my yellow one & would end up all over the road thats why the green one got power steering & same with harry..

Ask about the back seats but if it doesnt have any i'll make you some same as mine..we had them in yellow one & we put seatbelts in but never engineered them..

Good luck & i hope you get it as you'll love it ..
& it'll give you & Mrs Aus a day out on a train to go get it & drive it home..

If you miss out on it i know where theres a good green series 3 :twisted::twisted:..

It was a 1969 Had a holden 173 in it went real good . The only trouble we ever had with it was broken axles as it had the rover rear diff..Also had a holden radiator as well wish i new what sort so i could get one for green one & Harry..

Oh man, how could you part with that, even the trailor matched. It looks better than the Green Machine!!!:(

No it's New Year's Day here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE (and Banjo too ;))

Mrs Aus and myself went over to Jason and Karen's this afternoon for a New Years drink (coffee and choccy biscuits, yumm!!! if you need to know). We spent an enjoyable couple of hours chatting about...............you guessed it..........LANDROVERS!!!!:p In particular Series type LandRovers, I had my coffee in a cup that Jason bought from America with pictures of Series 111 photo's on each side of it and Jason showed me a Chrissy present that he recieved of a wall plaque with pictures of Series LandRovers on it. I HAVE TO GET ME ONE OF THEM!!!!:eek:
Seeing as how it was purchased at Morpeth which is only a 30 minute drive from my place, guess where I'll be on my next day off!!:D

An enjoyable afternoon was spent and we thank Karen and Jason for their hospitality!!!:D:D:D:D
