Hi there all

 

My name is Wayne Ellard - reside in the Flinders Rangers South Australia.

 

I have three Land Rovers:

 

1. 1951 - Series I (SWB) (Ex Woomera) - yellow front guards

2. 1958 - Series I Fire Engine (Ex Woomera Emergency Services)

3. 1964 - Series IIa Fire Tender (Ex Australian Army)

 

I am looking forwards to the wealth of experties on the site and the friendship.

 

Hear from you all soon.

Welcome to the forum Wayne.

 

I drove a WW2 Willys jeep up through the Flinders back in 2000. We stopped at Hawker, Blinman, Parachilna Gorge and on to Copley, taking part in Trackers 2000 from Adelaide to Alice. Great country to drive in.

 

I once came across a IIa ex-Australian army fire truck in a wreckers yard at Wodonga. Fell in love with it, but had to be realistic, it would have cost a mint to ship back to UK.
