G'day all.
i have been absent from this group for quite som time now (a year or so), due mainly to the fact that i have been without a land rover. however, this morning this deficiency was rectified as a beautiful series 3 2.6 six-pot LWB hard-top arrived at my doorstep. paid $2750aus for it with a RWC (MOT for the brits in the group).
the odo says 61,000 miles, and i know it is only a 100,000 mile clock, but the overall condition suggests that it hasn't done anywhere near 160,000, or
260,000 for that matter. The paint work (the standard rover tan colour that's on almost all s3's in oz) appears to be original and is still shiny. it is very original. only mods being quite a modest bull-bar, high-backed seats using original landy bases, roof-rack and removeable 2 person forward facing seat in the back.while it is all running sweetly at the moment (motor is a little gutless but sure is a smooth donk), i am sure it won't be long till little things start popping up so am grateful in advance for the help you will all give me and hope i can give a little back.
paid $2750aus for it with a RWC (MOT for the pommies).
cheers.
