In 1982, this Land Rover was Bought from a dealer at Selmeston, East Sussex for £900 after it had returned from safari while shooting a TV documentary film.  

Long wheelbase safari wagon, in 1982

The long wheelbase 'Safari' truck had a 2.4 litre petrol engine.  Even with freewheel hubs it was a thirsty beast and once got stuck in Robins Post Lane, Hailsham, while off-roading on waterlogged clay paths - eventually freed by rocking and going faster.  Great fun to own and a reliable workhorse with a starting handle for those occasions when the battery lets you down - and it did.

The resale value of these classics is so good the owner made a profit, selling it for £1,100 after some years use.  The Land Rover truck is believed to be in regular use today.
