Some of these restoration programs are not what they seem... And they can be extremely economical with the truth :shocked:.

Diamond T rocks... I think everyone would agree on this one :-).That was the point I was making about Land Rovers..

Here here, best idea I have heard all day !!!

Looks like a nice little Ferret... I seem to have problems tendering at Withams, every bid I enter is rejected as being too low!!! I think they are a little greedy...

Any piccys Paul?:-)

Yes, one of my Polish lads used to drive one in the army and he says that they were great trucks.

It appears to have a perfect top gear overdrive to give a relaxed cruising speed. I am just trying to find which 'box works best.:-)

Yes Lee it would have had considerable psychological effect methinks:-).

How effective would it have been?

Paul.are there any serial numbers on the gearbox?

Is anyone going to Sheffield today/tomorrow? The MVT are involved with it so there should be quite a few MV's there...

I think that this is one museum that is a must see. I will be planning a trip to Switzerland in the near future.... Won't tell the other half about the museum yet though :-).

IMPS were great, very helpful. They will date it for you.:-)

My favourite film!!!

I have not seen the 'Top Gear' programme but the results are completely at odds with what I see everyday in my garage!!! Modern Land Rover products cannot hold a candle to Toyota's vehicles. Unfortunately they are no more AEC,s Scammells or Gardner diesel engines and there was a time when the early Land Rovers were the best in the world but sadly that is just not the case anymore. I am pleased that people buy LR products because it keeps British people in jobs.. And me busy repairing them :-).

I am angry that a woman in Blackpool defiled the War Memorial. I cannot believe that she has escaped a custodial sentence.This hideous creature should have been birched. I would have come to Lancashire and implemented the punishment myself. I sometimes lose confidence in the judicial process....

A channel section chassis is superior for corrosion resistancy but is heavier than a box type chassis of an equivalent rigidity.I have never had a problem with a Toyota chassis,though :-)

A mate of mine wants 2 Ural 4320's for drill rigs. How much is a good chassis cab,Paul?

Probably the most romantic city in the world. I rather like the picture of Adolf Hitler with the Eiffel Tower behind him.

I do personally believe that Dieppe was a political rather than a tactical mission to appease Josef Stalin and many fine men lost their lives in what was a futile attempt to sugar the Soviet leader. I cannot honestly believe that anyone in the War department actually thought that this 'invasion' or experiment would have a successful conclusion????

The B26 Marauder is one of my all time favourites. I last saw one in flight ten years ago at Kermit Weeks' place in Florida. Fantastic. The model looks just as fantastic!!!

A shame. I hoped that someone might have got some of Bernadette! I was the only vehicle to have no passengers... Billy no mates! The Mrs was looking in the dress shops!!! Anybody would have been welcome for company :-(.

Hi there, my name is Lee and looking to build up my 110 into a wolf, any pictures, ideas and bits gratefully recieved! Based just outside silverstone, my 110 is my 21st landrover in 6 years.

Unfortunately they do wear out rather rapidly !!!!:-)

Hi there! Firstly they say the camera never lies, my militant looks ok in a photo, but in the flesh, well Your cab looks in very good nick, particularly at the front by the windscreen, mines all parting company.

You could still run her without a back body, which wouldn't look too bad, the back on mine is rotten, and I had considered removing it, running without and doing the body up indoors.

I know what you mean by a civvy paint job, given that your body is missing, but come on now, you can't beat green

 

Let me know what you're short of, I might have or know the bits you need. BTW you'll find most peope on here obliging, so just ask

 

Just looking at your pics, I think I have some brackets so you can put your headlights in the right place, all that wiring on the floor looks familiar, mine was all pulled out when I got it, every wire yellow, and most with no markings legible! Do you have your clocks and start panel? I have a spare of both if you're interested, also the frame that they sit in which bolts to the front of the cab. Do you have the bonnet side and bonnet top?

 

If you can, get it on the road, do a few shows, then, in my experience, people will come forward with the stuff you need if they see the wagon in the flesh, much better than trying to reach people with your pleas with the wagon tucked away in a barn somewhere.

 

Do you have a manual for it, I can copy you a few pages if you let me know what you need.

 

BTW, I still have the wooden former in the garage that I made for the lower corner panels, your O/S front look a bit thin, is it? Let me know if you want a panel making.

As Gordon Gekko said, Green is good... Or was it Greed????

Anybody got anymore footage of the convoy?
