Truth in advertising... - Land Rovers Only

GoldRover · 10-27-2005, 02:50 AM

Hey,
I just picked this neat item up on ebay...

Looks a bit familiar. Just thought it was kinda cool. Does anyone else have original advertising showing an identical (or pretty darn close) Land Rover to one you own? I guess I just get frustrated with all the 109 photo's always being Station Wagons, or Military soft tops. I reckon the 2dr hdtops are not as common, but this one is spot on same colour and everything!
Sorry, I just thought it was a neat find.

Oh, the "neat item" I was referring to is the brochure - 1978 Australia printing.
The second pic is my daily transportation.

Very Nice, also even the same colour!!

But I think Iv got one better on you!!!

I have the original owners manual, the original warrenty papers, the purches papers and the transfer papers. Along with that I have a 1976 CAR magazine that tested the 4 cyl Land Rover.

Great find on both....That's awsome

A twin fixed-light 3 door 109 is certainly less common than the multitude of other configurations. Add that to the identical color, which I have never seen outside AU models, Silver wheels, and other silimilarities, and I wouldn't need a lot of convincing you owned the very truck used in the brochure. I'd say whatever you paid for it was a bargain, and a great find.
