The hard part of this restoration was the back tub, the side had been cut down, lots of parts mising, with only 200 ever made, what are the odds on finding a mint one ? very low, here are some photos of my find [ATTACH=CONFIG]148659[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]148660[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]148661[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]148662[/ATTACH] photo 1 is as the body with its camper mods. photo 2 &3 is top cut off. 4 is inside last photo is one mint Rapier 127 body with no mods.just needs some paint this last photo is from the lad who made the camper from the 127 tub, he put a lot of time and money into this but had to put up forsale [ATTACH=CONFIG]148663[/ATTACH].

We are all very lucky to have someone like Clive in the military vehicle world. Regards Phil

Hi could you PM me a contact number ? would like a chat as I do need some help with missing parts on my 127 Regards phil

have to look into this

must be someone out there in the know

I have just got hold of 3 EADS CONNEXITY RADIOS, they are Smart Digital Encrypted Radio Transceivers Type No MC9610 work on 380 -430 MHz 10w out,with programmable encryption codes from keypads. 99 channel made about 2005 The radio comes in a case with flip top (see photos) the txrx clips inside the case only have one with this other 2 missing. some time back did see a photo of the inside of a landrover snatch, you could just see part of this radio case with the mic leed, has someone got a better photo of one in place

Yes have been told the ones with cab top mods could be USAF. could be just not on a computer but still a paper record card some place. more lettes to send I think Regards Phil

Some time back at a show was looking over a nice 110 FFR with all the radio kit, it also had a military laptop LXI, looking on line about the laptop it could be used for the combat net radio system BAMS (developed and used by the Belgium Armed Forces) this laptop was built around 2000 by DRS technologies in the UK. the unit is TEMPEST safe. (TEMPEST)Codename, referring to (the study of) unwanted compromising emanations. This includes the emission of unintentional and unwanted intelligence-bearing signals. If such signals were intercepted and analyzed, they might disclose sensitive information. In cryptography, the interceptor might be able to reconstruct (part of) the plain text. (Wikipedia) I now have 2 LX1 laptops that work, was this Lx1 used with clansman ? did the British army use them ? some info here from the cryptomuseum http://www.cryptomuseum.com/pc/drs/index.htm

still not found out the unit for this landrover

very nice. did the London to brighton run back in the 1990s with a working No.19 set. we had about 40+ QSO on 80m ham band on the way down. happy times in the Dingo :cool2:
