    Cant help feeling it served him right! I also feel sorry for the farmer mentioned in Andy Fowlers piece, got run over by his own Land Rover. They said on the news he'd had his shot gun with him, but hadn't managed to use it. Of course he would have been done if he had let one of them have it, but at least he would still be alive.

    Nice conversion, and damned useful at that length, as well. Will you need a proper LGV licence to drive it now?

    It would appear we are all of much the same mind, even if we cannot actually say so on here. It is to be hoped that a few will find a place, such as Duxford, where they can carry on flying, even if it is only for the entertainment and amazement of the public.

    Hi Simon, Well spotted on the missing door handle, I hadn't noticed it at all. Guess it must have been snapped off at some point and was yet to be replaced. Be nice to find out from Charlie if 01 BP 28 is his. Did you notice it has a different pattern front bumper. This could follow Erics idea that it had a shunt, maybe the bumper was replaced during the repair.

    Got another picture from the Father in Laws album, and more info on this and the previous one. This is my Father in Law Eric, in the cab of his militant 01BP41. Like the earlier picture this was taken in 1957. He served his National Service with 77 Heavy Regiment RA stationed at Delmonhurst West Germany, in 1957/58. The unit had a substantial collection of Millys all with the registration 01BP.... from 20 odd through to 40 something. All were 6 x 6 short wheelbase tractors. I copied this from earlier in this thread, said to be at the MOD auctions. Eric says he was sure that this was also one of 77s vehicles until it suffered a major shunt on the near side, and was sent to base workshops for repair.

    I recognise these symptoms as the early stages of MV fever, most of us started like this, it will only get worse, and eventually you just "have" to go and buy one of your own. Welcome to the forum, you should do a proper introduction thread

    I foresee a quiet day, still half cut from xmas eve, big dinner and a topping up of alcohol during the afternoon. Boxing day is a different matter, weather permitting it will be playtime!! :D

    Very satisfying to get a result, however small, especially under ardous conditions. Best of luck with the rest of it

    Hi Gavin, Welcome to the show, nice pics of your Karrier on the other thread. Military, yes, but it doesn't have to be green (see mine)

    Should consider exactly want you want to use it for, are you looking for a 4wd car? or are you looking for a utility or pick up. I've had a Hilux pick up for years, it has been thoroughly abused, overloaded, used for towing buses and coaches, I've really kicked the whatsit out of it, but it just keeps going. It is a pain in the butt having to get out to change the manual 4wd hubs on the front axle, but once locked in it is unstoppable mud, snow, whatever. I love it, wouldn't be without it.

    Welcome aboard mate - Personally I reckon you ought to flog all the Rovers and buy the big one that you really want:D:D:D:D

    Nice verse, liked that

    Been looking at original photo again, but I cannot be sure, it could be either colour. Cant see why you would want to paint it white, so would suggest it could be a new one yet to be painted, knowing what drivers can be like at knocking them off :D

    It would appear that if you mention the words Kent and Land Rover in the same sentence you start a stampede, anyway welcome to the forum

    Might be worth you having another look at the first picture, that's big bits of bridge hanging over the cab, known as side transomes. Now, have a look at the model on the table

    In answer to the questions, I am waiting for some other pictures to come from my Father in Law, and I will get better info about his regiment at the time, and about the white mirror. As for the bumper corners etc on the RE one, I dont remember any particular regulations about it, but it was always done, any extremity/sticky out bit was painted white

    Well Dear, there was so many stalls at Beltring this year, I just had to buy a few bits and pieces
