Offroad-Express

Well the sickness can't be ignored . Looking for a series Land Rover .
Wondering if anyone knows of one sitting around .
Must be South Island and closer to Canterbury the better.
Not too worried on cond . As have some spares. But more complete the better.

Must be a swb series 2a or older. Don't mind engine conversions mods etc

Plan is make a fun classic truck to do some trips with. Will be putting on the road at some stage but have tags off other truck.

Cheers for all the help

pay a lot of attention to the firewall and chassis before you purchase mate you could easily buy yourself more work and trouble than its worth those things are 50+ years old now everything else is bolt on easy shit

There is a guy out Hornby way that has a yard full of them, can't remember the address or ph number, but will ask my old man today.

Just had a hunt around on the laptop and found the guys details. The address is 856 Jones Rd, Rolleston, Ph 027 201 8362

I cant believe that guy is still there.
I remember visiting him well over 10 years ago hunting around for Series LR parts.

He was quite a character and was living in a bus on-site
