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.

Boxes are original. The last unit the trailer served with was 8/13 VMR. It has been given a tidy up since I took these photos.
I actually bought this trailer from a scrappy!

Now that Defender production has officially ended, how long will it take for prices of these old girls to start climbing, I wonder.

I can't see any connection with the availability or price of 60's Series Rovers and the discontinuation of production of the current Defender. I mean, who will really say "I can't buy a 2017 Defender, so I'm prepared to spend my $50,000 on a 2A instead"?

However, I'm personally hoping that the price of 6x6 Perenties will soar to stratospheric levels on the news!

Rare 109" series2a still in its original 3 bde Operational Deployment Force camouflage. This was used during the early eighties.
Also has a matching workshop trailer.

Hello Ryan,

Is the 109 in the photographs your Series 2A? Or is it one you have seen somewhere else - if so where?

Kind Regards
Lionel
