GAME Yellow Devil
Land Rover Australia's GAME, the upmarket short-wheelbase Series III of the mid-1970s with fifteen-inch white spoke wheels, black wheel-arch flares, a deluxe interior and the Yellow Devil colour scheme of yellow body, white roof and black front panel.
History
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.
