Bellacoola Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi All, Greetings from the land of Lumberjacks and cast off Batus Trucks. I picked up a 1983/85(?) SIII 109 last year and am in the process of going through the mechanics prior to working on the body and paint. Still havent decided whether or not to go original...see attached. I have a detailed web site of work to date and what history I do know of the truck. Cheers, www.freewebs.com/83S3109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 X 6 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yo Bellacoola from BC, There's always room for one more on the Land Rover Ward of the Asylum. I've just spent a very enjoyable half hour viewing your splendid website, thanks. The first 'photo in the Redneck 2008 series looks just like our local Cheddar Gorge here in Somerset.

Tony B Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hey and welcome! visted BC many years ago, coming from an island eleven miles long by five miles wide, you can imagine the effect on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Many thanks for the intor and are there many land Rovers over in BC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellacoola Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yes there are actually quite a few. A lot are x-BATUS trucks like my own, some NAS trucks, and quite a few imports. We only have the 15 year rule as opposed to the states that has to wait 25 years. Check out my clubs link http://www.Roverlanders.bc.ca We've been featured a few times in LRM. Great bunch of guys. Any idea on how I can find out some additional information on the ex-military usage of my truck? 77-KC-64 Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey there, Welcome to the friendly forum... I've seen the remnants of a few Batus LRs down in Aldergrove BC with IMS - the film prop company run by Ian Newby who has a huge fleet of amazing kit. I got a warm welcome from him and the lads at the Western Command Association MV group in BC - (this was back in 2002). We're going back to BC in 2009 and plan to move up north from Vancouver visiting family friends and so on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
