Hi,

 

My name is Nuno and I'm from Portugal.

 

I have a Military Land Rover Lightweight - Series III

 

I hope to learn many things here with this great community.

 

Here are some photos of my vehicle:

Hello Nuno, nice to see the Lightweight. Is that a Dutch one?

 

Do you happen to know if any of your security forces/police still use Shorland armoured cars?

Welcome Nuno!

Welcome Nuno,

 

That's a nice looking Light-Weight! I looked at some in Denmark (Midtjysk Reservedelslager in Viborg) that had a bunch of ex Danish army ones some years back. Most were in sad shape but there were a number of really restorable ones there too.

 

Do you have any MV club in Portual? I helped start the MFHF in Sweden in 1981.

 

As always,

Welcome Nuno.

Hi,

Yes, mine is Dutch.

Sorry, but i didn't understand what the word "Shorland" means.

Hi,

I don't think here in Portugal is any Club about Military vehicles, but sometimes, off-road clubs organize encounters to only military vehicles.

Nano, I had a Dutch one as well. Although I found the 22 fuses rather tiresome!
