They have been fairly common in Oz forever. I have a collection of series 1's. It's common to repower the series models here, most get a GM Holden 6 in them, but ford and valiant engines and anything that will fit have been used. 2 of mine are the 86" short wheelbase units, slow on the road, brakes not so good, but put some weight in the back and they climb just about anything. I like them, but like early Jeeps better - just don't have any these days.
