B- 43 on your sight is found in the court yard of the museum and like the others has the early mirrors, blue light and correct spot light. While digging I came across this image: You’ll note the color, the window stickers, the lettering, the red light, square mirrors, the rea

Clive, Your knowledge on Shorlands is second to none and I hear you about keeping it original. From what I understand this unit my have been used until the early 90’s... I agree Having her in the GNR livery would be a sight to see, I am quite a fan of it in fact. I am curious as it’s been in a government museum for quite sometime, why it is the color it is, I am assuming that it’s the factory Olive Drab and that the Portuguese never painted it... actually you struck the nail on the head, I am torn when it comes to this unit as it looks in fair to good condition, but it is currently

Hello all, as is proper protocol I am introducing myself. My name is Winston I currently reside in New Jersey, i recently sold a couple of soft skinned retired military vehicles to gather funds to buy my first piece of armor. I have an affinity towards Shorland Land Rovers and the their associated history in Ireland and the rest of the world. This all started back some 30+ years ago when my mother who was crazy and still is went out and brought home a Ferret armored car, she proceeded to paint it pink and put a giant flower emblem on it (bit of a hippy). She drove often for a bit
