The record
In 1977–78 Land Rover Australia, then assembling Series IIIs at Moorebank, offered the GAME — a dressed-up 88-inch station wagon aimed at the recreational buyer rather than the farmer: fifteen-inch white spoke wheels on wide tyres under black flares, a black-painted front panel, bull bar, deluxe seats and trim, and bright colour schemes of which the yellow-with-white-roof 'Yellow Devil' is the best remembered, with GAME decals on the wings. Wikipedia's Land Rover Series history lists it among the Australian factory variants; the Shannons Club member's 1978 car, IKY 966, shows the scheme with an alloy bull bar.
The registry's model is a Series III 88 station wagon in yellow with a white roof, black front panel and flares, alloy bull bar, white wheels and GAME decals.
