There's also the issue of the condition the vehicle arrived in when you bought it, as well as it's relative value, to restore, keep as is, or upgrade. My ex-mil 110 V8 arrived civilianised and mucked about with, with a 200 Tdi, and the original carb V8 in the back, and fat offroad tyres. So back to original? Petrol V8 in this day and age? I haven't researched it's history yet, so don't know if it is anything interesting, but for something like that, there is a very defined value that these things are worth overall, and that sort of things defines to a certain extent what you want to do with it. 110s are two a penny. Currently that is, and Bowman stickers, whilst I agree that sort of thing, blue flashing lights and too much 'idle time tarting up' is simply tedious, Land Rovers are very accessible as an entry into the mil vehicle scene. Loads of parts available to change things to your hearts content - look at all the magazine ads, and with the added goodness of the 'green' accent. What's not to like?! but it's the passing off the vehicle as something that it is not and never was that does get my goat frankly. However, at some point our descendants will have the joy of shaking their heads at what has gone before and enjoy the opportunity of putting my 110 back to it's original glory, bolt by bolt.
