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

Hi Lionel,
It's mine. I also have another canopy for it that features the 3 tone camouflage too.
Here is a pic of one in service.

Hello Ryan,

Here is a two photographs of my Land Rover Series III Fitted For Radio that has a similar coat of paint to your 2A.

You should change your signature line to S2A x 2 ... edit - I went back to your first post where you introduced your two new projects - yes Land Rovers are like rabbits and keep multiplying.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Lionel that's great. Do you know the history of it? Must be ex-3 bde too. Is it a runner? Mine currently is not and won't be for awhile. Other vehicles to attend too first.


And yes, land Rovers and accessories are like rabbits.
