I was just looking through the cars of NSW Members & noticed the oldest was a 1982 Tojo. Is anyone out there in an older job?
Now, be fair, must be registered, & driven regularly, not in the
shed or a display only rig. Who is the proud driver of the oldest
4wd on EO?......oldbaz.

No not regoed yet have to sell the 105 to pay for Anna Bligh's rego increase and some new chromies and boots.

Careful Kev the mighty 3B powerhouse will give the 1HZ a run for it's money and probably blow as much smoke with the 12 mth old fuel that's in her..lol

HI Malcolm,
Have you got any photos of your Sahara 6x4.
I have a 1988 Landcruiser 6x4 with 12Ht turbo diesel. Is yours a Dalby conversion?

Nice rig.
I was talking to the owner of Dalby conversions a while ago and I think he said he only did 2 conversions on 60series. I wonder if they were yours and mine??.

My daily driver is an 81 series 3 Landrover tray back (65000 genuine Logbook serviced k's).
Hers is a 99 TD5 Disco, with only 120000k's on the clock.

And I thought I was in with a chance?

I have had 44 cruisers and 4 hiluxes the oldest was a 1961 FJ40 with a run out FJ25 body built by ansett and was a Theiss import with the sticker still on the dash and ex snowy hydro. Shame I had to sell it to move to Qld but the new owner has done a full body off resto.
The newest was a 2003.
Only have the 98 and 83 left.
