G'day,

Do you have a Gunbuggy and Topographical survey? looks like everything else is there!

Wish I had a shed that size, but you know what they say, when you plan to put a shed up make it twice the size you recon you need then you still fill it up!

Thanks for sharing your photos

Regards
Scott

So what's with all these land rovers?

Restoration, spares .

My plan is to eventually restore 12 of these Landy's, basically one of each type of the ex-mil models. Some will be used as a source of parts to aid in these restorations. I will part out the civvy ones before ex-mil where possible.

Most of these models have special recollections for me as I spent a great many hours both driving and repairing them when I was a Vehicle Mech in RAEME.

Same goes for the Inters.

Others vehicles and parts that are excess to my requirements will be offered to other enthusiasts.

Many of these I acquired simply to prevent them from deteriorating in the open or to save them from going to scrap.

Cookey

Thats a great idea one of each kind made.... Maybe yo could loan a few to the Australian Land Rover Museum??

Buy a bigger shed first!

But remember that junk expands exponentially to fill the available space.

Spent Sunday at Cookey's Shed.
It was raining a bit on the roof so when I arrived at the entrance I searched (always carry binoculars, compass and a water bag at Cookeys) and listened a bit more then I went "Cooooooooooooooooeeeee!". Sure enough, a silhouette appeared on the horizon...

Thx again Cookey and a belated Happy Birthday too.
