    According to John Farleys "The standardised war time Jeep" the pressed grille, a Ford design, superseded the slat grill and was introduced in March '42 without dip, he refers to the dip as being introduced later, the only reference is a picture of a Willys of May '42 production that has the dip. Perhaps a question for the rivet counters on G503.com forum

    Yes indeed, there were some good points Landrover should have taken from the Gipsy, they were responsible for its demise, being the larger 4x4 producer when Austin and Rover merged as British Leyland

    More than a few Jeep bits in the 1st prototype it was a complete Willys mb rolling chassis with a Rover car engine, gearbox and Rover bodywork and central driving position Check out the pics of the running gear in the LR mag The 1st production 80" was entirely Land Rover

    Here is a pic of one of the last surviving 110 Land Rovers to be used by the SAS, the others were scrapped, this one is owned by the Dunsfold collection

    Nigel, Is this the type of headlamp mask you are looking for?

    The first Land Rover prototype was built in 1947 on a ww2 Willys Jeep chassis, axles, transfer box and fitted with Rover car engine. A replica has been built using the surviving photos as the only reference, it is now in the Dunsfold collection, It is featured in this months Land Rover enthusiast mag. http://www.landroverenthusiast.com

    Got to be a hoax, far too clean to have been submereged for any time, ...amazing how all the tracks and slewing brakes apparently still work when it was being towed, how did a driver get in, it would have been full of mud !....I don't think so!!!!

    They may have got bigger and faster but you can't beat the original concept

    I've just found these pics I took over 35 years ago of how the Jagd Panzer was before being recovered in the 90's by Bob Fleming from the Pirbright firing range, and recently restored, you can see the state it was in with one side completly blown away, no tracks, we used to play on it as kids along with the remains of Shermans, Crusaders Churchills Valentines, even a Panzer1! all destroyed as targets
