Aussie Land Rovers

[Ryan]

Sorry for the delay guys,
Rich I can assure you they will not have a holden six transplant. Both vehicles have been one owner vehicles since leaving the army and as you said, are quite complete.
Ian that is a fine looking shorty. Can you tell me your source of your canvas?
Hi Lionel, yep I do know of remlr, I've been diving through their records and such for a bit. There is a nice series 3 truck for sale atm moment actually. Quite a bit of choice when it comes to land rovers. I'm not use to that.

Thanks for the info Lynn regarding the NZ late Series 2A's SWB's. I would be interested to know if they are the same spec as mine. I'll see what information I can find.

Ryan,
I bought the canopy around 10 years ago and unfortunately I can't remember where I got it from...

No worries Ian.

Here's a pic of my latest bit of kit. An original tow warning sign.

A spot of maintenance.
And a new Vietnam task force tac.

I can take a wheel hub off with one hand! No engine crane needed like my old blitz. It's a new world.

Have acquired replica army plates with the vehicle's original ARN. Very pleased with them. Got them through a business on Facebook called 'signmyname'. They are not embossed but still look the part.

Got a plate too for my workshop trailer. This trailer served in Vietnam with 8RAR.

Have not actually seen the box's on the workshop trailer Ryan, the one I had had everything else but them. Setting all the canvas up was an absolute nightmare, did it just the once. Found them to be quite top heavy without the tool box's, so be interesting to see what you think. I had the frame complete with canvas hanging in the shed, put on some hungry boards and used it as a wood trailer for years. Unfortunately it was sold to pay for transport costs on getting the Humber home, not an easy decision.
Have fun!
Rich.
