Hi Chris, Sorry for the very late reply.Since the pics were taken 8 years ago ( seems like yesterday,) the project has moved on . I have stripped it down to chassis and am in the process of a full rebuild . This summer I hope to have rolling chassis. As for the colour, It was owned for a while by a German off road guy who decided to give it a quick spray job !!! So a lot of sanding is required.Apart from that everything is original except for the tow hook which I lost.The problem I have at the moment is that when I stripped it down I took photos of all wiring 24v with my phone and then lost the phone so at some point I will need a kind soul to guide me through. If you wish I can post pics of the rebuild.. Regards Paul

Interesting read, I was planning to restore mine next year as I have a civilian series 2A ( 1965 ) to finish first and the OH would not be very happy if I had both Land Rovers in bits :-(. Thanks for all you input, makes my understanding of what I bought a lot clearer. As to condition, whilst it is a runner it still needs a lot of work. new rear cross member two outriggers, electrics sorting out, not charging ( Help anyone ) paint stripping. It is all original I think, maybe the series 3 brake servo was added later plus the rear tow hook does not make sense as you can't lower the tailgate. I will keep you informed of my progress. Regards Paul

Thanks for that Mark, It becomes a little clearer.The guy I bought it off told me it came from the German Police. I thought he must have meant British Forces military police. (I cant speak Latvia either.) Any further info would be appreciated. Regards Paul

Hello everybody, I wonder if anybody can help me identify my new LR. I have just returned from climbing all over it, funny how you only discover new things after you have bought it. First thing , everything is written in German, all instructions, switches etc. ( I cant speak German!). I have looked at the plate under the bonnet there is a number 244 38 801G Type 88P BGS. On the plate on the bulkhead it says 88 Series 2A and a number 244 38801-G. The LR has a military rear crossmember and a boltable gearbox cross member. There is a series 3 brake servo fitted and also a different tow hook. The rear battery box is still there. The LR has twin tanks. I have taken a number of photos to try and show a bit more detail, small disaster with all the id plates as all out of focus I will try again next weekend.I have browsed this forum and looked at references to a Rover 10 a late military series 2A with 24 volts. While this is also 24 volts, I don't know if it is an FFR. All military spec is new to me so I haven't really got much idea regarding electrics, ( and there are a bloody lot of electrics!). and help and ideas would be gratefully appreciated Regards PaulAttachment 62185Attachment 62186Attachment 62187Attachment 62188Attachment 62189Attachment 62190Attachment 62191Attachment 62192Attachment 62193Attachment 62194Attachment 62195Attachment 62196Attachment 62197Attachment 62198Attachment 62199

If it is OK with you, I would like to start a new thread to see if anyone can shed some light as top what the LR is.

Hello Ruxy, I have just joined HMVC and was browsing the forums to try and and find out what LR I have just bought. It is a 1970 series 2A with headlights in the wing and 24 volts with an awful lot of electrics. It also has connections for batteries in the rear. I do not know if it is FFR or not. Is this what you are looking for? If so I will take more photos including the plate and send them to you. Regards Paul

Hello everybody, just to introduce myself.My name is Paul and I have lived in Latvia for the last 12 years. I have had a series land rover of one sort or another ( 2As) for the last 20 years. At present I have a 1965 series 2A and I have just acquired a 1970 series 2A FFR 24 volt. It was originally in Germany and I was told that is was used by the military police. It does however have many fittings associated with a radio, plus a lot of other items I have no idea what they are. At present it is covered in a strange sandy paint so details are hard to find.However the VIN number is 244388O1G. I will post some pics in the British forum and ask any kind soul to identify just what I have got. Regards to you all Baltik (Paul)
