Useful Australian Series Landrover Resources

These are a few resources that I have used so far.

Websites

• North America Overland

• Little Green Landy

Books/Magazines

• John Carroll, LAND ROVER SERIES 11/11A - Good coffee table book for some inspiration

• Classic Land Rover Magazine available on www.pocketmags.com

YouTube Channels

• Seriously Series - Inspiration for enjoying and maintaining your Series Land Rover

• Rover Tasmania - Build diary of a Series 2. Really good instructional walkthroughs of almost every part.

• Snakecharmer - Build diary of Series 2 Land rover in the UK.

• Phil Sabo - Build diary of a Series 3 Landrover.

• North America Overland - Amazing restorations to a very high spec.

• Vintage Restorations Australia - Love this channel, all the capers fixing Land Rovers with a bunch of mates.

• Geoffrey Croker - Amazing workmanship restoring a Series 2 and very funny.

• Coolnvintage - Fancy pictures of fancy people

Parts Retailers

• Auto West Paint Supplies autowest.com.au

• Land Rover Heaven https://www.landroverheaven.com.au - Dave D'Arcy is a good guy. He supplied me with a bulkhead and rear crossmember at a decent price.

• Mil-Spec Restorations in Victoria https://mil-specrestorations.com.au/ - They fabricate and sell chassis and bulkhead replacement parts. They look like better quality than the UK equivalents and you save time and money on shipping.

• LandyBitz on the Gold Coast https://www.landybitz.com.au/ - I have not purchased anything from them yet but they have a wide range of parts and they are distributors of Exmoor Trim products in Australia.

• Red Earth Valley Land Rover Hoods located in Brisbane https://www.facebook.com/landrovercanopyredearthvalley/ - They make canvas hoods locally and seem to have a good reputation. From the research that I have done the canvas that is manufactured locally is different to those made overseas to take into account the harshness of the Australian environment. This means that they have a higher UV rating and are less vulnerable to fading and rot.
