More info as picked up the Landy today.
I have found a military data plate on drivers seat base.
It declares the vehicle as a Series lll FFR. It does show a military reg and a chassis number and I will post these later with some pics.
It does have military FFR fittings and the large FFR generator.
The fuel tanks are 2 - both under the front seats but as previously thought, the old owner has put a filling pipe in the NS body. The right hand tank can be filled under the seat by using the rather crudely cut square in the seat base. There is a switch over tap on the bulkhead.
Well, I'm happy that it would seem the vehicle is ex-military but not that bothered. I'm going to give it a paint with drab for no other reason than I can park it on site at W+P next year.
Runs okay but the steering is somewhat heavy. Going to look at it tomorrow as I think either the box has been over adjusted or it's very low on lube.
Other than that it needs lots of cosmetic work - cause it looks poo and the bulkhead needs attention.
If further enquiries give a pre-73 date, I shall endeavor to get an age related plate but I am a bit suspect that its as old as pre 73. At a pure guess, I would think about 1984- 1986 for a series lll FFR.
Back with pictures and other stuff soon.
