Nissan and Land Rover 4x4s in Oz in 1979 through to 1985???

Hey thanks Eric,

That's what I thought, but someone said I was crazy when I told them that. I figured either they didn't know what they were talking about or else I was bonkers. It was many years ago but I was sure there were 4x4 Nissans, Toyotas and Land Rovers!

Thanks again, Eric for taking the time to confirm this for me.

Willem,

Thanks for the great info. With dates and all - wonderful. I appreciate your reply, it really helps me out. It confirms what I remembered when I was in Oz, but several people told me - "No way; not back then." And I thought if they weren't driving one of the "rugged three" (Land Rover, Toyota ot Nissan) then I don't know what the heck they would be driving.

Thanks again, Willem.

Hello Bob, I will tell you what else they would have been driving. I came here in 1964, saw and worked on the big three as referred to above over the early years. Austin Gypsys, (now there was a dog!), the old WW2 Jeeps both by the yanks and some were made by Mitsubishi I believe. Ford and Bedford military 4WDs were common as the Blitz versions and others made do with Standard Vangaurds, VW vans with their rear axle reduction gears could "go anywher that a 4WD could go". I am sure that many of my age could add many more. Cheers, Colcam
