Finally, a photo of my 4x4 Mk3. It is registered as a 1968 model but AWM files show it to be supplied in 1963. Since demob, it has served as a Rigger's truck and as a diving company's boat puller.
In August 2005, I, and the wife, drove it from Perth to Alice Springs and back. about 7,500Kms in total. It blew a waterpump bypass hose and the oil pressure guage (but not the oil pressure) failed. Apart from that not too much went wrong with it. It's best fuel consumed was 8.5 M.P.G(imp). Its not a limo by any stretch but is vastly more comfortable and can take the dreaded aussie corrigations better than the old blitz. It's certainly a worthy successor to the CMP.
