What did you want to transport Kyle? I just used a company to Transport my ambulance from York to North Bucks which were good.

I take it you work for DVLA? :whistle:

Im sure someone said they were going to type up the details of this over the wekend...... :whistle:

Yes I was Mike. I wouldnt even entertain the idea of the one with the saggy bottom. Im waiting on some more detailed pics today of the green one. Theyre not too far away from me.

What are the availability for DUKW parts? Are they basically the same as GMC 6x6?

Well I would have gone for it but after waiting a week for a reply was told they were sold.

Thanks Richard, I think that explains the very thin yellowy looking paint that lies underneath the original coats of paint, we were wondering what that might be!

Theres always the MVT verification service, but you do have to be a member!

Thanks for the lead! We have used aerosol tins in the past just to prime the Morris panels, but even at trade prices doing the landy body would take a few crates of the stuff!

As the title suggests, what is the best paint for priming an aluminium body with, and where can I get it from?

Im sure this has been on another thread. Where can I find out the service history for the Landrover? Ive got the release docs, original reg etc.

Took delivery of it today, I cant believe what a good buy it was. Had it up on the ramp for an MOT corrosion inspection and the under side is as solid as the day it was made. All it will need for an MOT is a brake master cylinder and a couple of front indicators! Everything else is fine, never been out of the yard since it was released! Just got to get it verified to register it, put the master cylinder on it, MOT it and we'll be ready for the road. Paintwork is all flaking off anyway revealing its various paint jobs!

Im a very happy bunny!! :-D

Or you can stck a big Pak on them!

Yes it is an early one as G506 said, more than likely from Dunkirk. There are plenty examples of this, a common modification was to put a new windscreen surround on as this one. Instead of the lift up flap they replaced it with one that completely folded down. Probably a good bit of design as even with the lift up flaps on the allied ones it still got bloody hot in the cab!

I didnt realise you could get all that info from Bovvy! I take it they only keep that sort of info for armoured stuff? Did you have to pay for all that info?

I would be interested to find out what was special about the first 2 that were adapted for the RA, the bit that has a line through. Nice lot Steve, I can imagine what you will be doing tonight...

Are you sure its glossy just because its wet? I would test a bit and see what finish it is when dry. You could try and dulling it down with talc or chalk, very hit and miss though.

Thanks Richard.

Panic over found someone who specialises in Landy transport. he sounds pretty good will ask him what weight he carries, but he transports all over the UK.

Need urgent help. The transport company who were bringing my Series 3 ambulance down today have told me they arent actually bringing it down today as their lorry is in Spain. B******s! I need to get urgent transport but need to know the unladen weight of it, as its heavier than standard car.

Thanks in advance

I suppose the term comfort when applied to Landrovers means- Yes you can sleep in the back and stretch out.

Waiting for delivery of the big green shoebox, coming down from York today, I hope its not too bad, I know its gonna need outriggers, so if anyone has a contact I would be grateful, Im not well up on LR suppliers.

Is there any sort of timetable of things taking place, and if possible a place to camp? Not sure if we can make the saturday due to work, but definitely the Sunday, even though its a long way, but what will there be to see on Sunday?

They are south of me by about 20 miles, Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, I rang them up the other day as there was a rumour of another LRV there,(if only!) but when I rang up rumour was all it was. They did tell me they had the C8 there and what was available on it.

Rush green Motors has a C8 they are breaking down my way, no bodywork just the bare essentials, I just need to find the time to go down there, will let you know!
