rjluna2 ◊ 2009-02-06 23:39	Must be 1913 or earlier due to right hand drive.
DynaMike ◊ 2009-02-06 23:42	Or RHD because export to GB ?

nzcarnerd ◊ 2009-02-07 07:54	I wonder if it is this car? http://www.landroverbase.com/auctionlot/by-id/26137457/
nzcarnerd ◊ 2009-02-07 08:02	Here is an earlier one. Note the flat topped guards. http://www.old-print.com/cgi-bin/item/DDD1915384#
