After a wait and a dodged derailment 50-331 finally arrived yesterday (no call to tell me it was at Prixcar) and I brought her home.
Pretty straight but as usual the canopy had come out of the clamp and there was water in the footwells.
Started and drove well! Just like a cross between a series and a defender but all the good bits. Got a wave from another defer on the way home.
There's alist forming of bits I want to hunt down but the only things requiring immeadiate attention is the dragging brake sound (not sure if park or wheel) and the horn coming on when I turn left (but not working when I push it).
Now just after I bought it I let the "Tommy Landrover Library" know the ARN and while "in-service" perentie pics are not so common, mine has been a bit of a poster model when it was in........Iraq!
Turns out it was one of 4 110's AUSCDT3 used during their deployment to Iraq . Not sure if it came back then or got loan pooled but some time after that "Spanner Roo 1" has been painted on the wings. I don't usually name my cars but this one has come pre-named.
Quite a few pics of her in on deployment too. Enjoy.
