That Contract No.  / Warrant No. plate - alone must be worth a few  ££  quid, and the OD hardly needs T cut.       Any snags getting  into MV show ground for  £ zilch as spectator / exhibitor  -   just show the all important plate  + no problems for Kit and quite good storage security.

Actually for £ free entry to visitor park - I find a yellow bridge plate gets me a wave past the gate  LoL

 

Is there anyway of finding out it’s past off off of that contract plate?

This ones got a 1.7 o2 series petrol engine I’m going to fit a Perkins prima turbo diesel when I locate all the relevant parts.

Caught sight of one down the side of a house in Devon May time last year. My other half well she wasn't best pleased at my stopping to look.  It was the colour that first caught my attention a day or so previous, the colour looked the shade the US-Air Force used on Sherpas they had around Mildenhall and Lakenheath a while back and yes it was ex-US forces under the flaky paint. It was in a bit of a state and sadly it wasn’t for sale. I’m sure if one arrived on the show scene condescending voices would be heard 

Why condescending voices? I know there not everybody’s cup of tea but I repair series and defender Landrovers so thought it would be nice to have.

This one has sat in a garden in London for the last 13 years it’s got 60k on the clock and is so clean underneath it was pulled out the garden last weekend and still has a clutch and brake pedal! Unfortunately the engine had 11 ltrs of rain water in it when I took the sump plug out and is seized solid 🤦‍♂️

This is the 200 version I think the wider was the 300? 
 

there’s not much room in the cab by today’s standards 😆 

Hi new member here hello to all! 
 

I have just saved this freight rover from the scrap virtually rot free! I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on it’s history, I can make out remnants of sign writing that says “removal and disposal” 

many Thanks.
