Re: SER1 station wagon 107 on ebay

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/11/14]

Hi Peter
The 107 will be in 'Nelson Safari' livery, whereas the 88 will be in the 
Oxcam (Which it is in at the moment, as we here in NZ have just done a 
comemorative rally from Oxford in Christchurch to Cambridge in the Waikato). 
That's not to say that it won't be available for 'unofficial' tours.
This is where I might be disowned and shunned by the group. The vehicle I'm 
using at present is a .... Jeep Grand Cherokee ( the Father of Land Rover?). 
Which fulfills it's roll as a personalised tour vehicle admirably. The Land 
Rover will be for the more 'adventurous' forays.

Regards
