Tony B Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 You lucky...LUCKY... LUCKY.........:banghead: Rust is a problem, transmission is nearly bomb proof the engine parts are the old C series. If you want to disiel it use the BMC 2.5 litre, bit more poke than the 2.2, both very reliable, used in London cabs for years. Sheet metal is likley to be the problem.

Nick Johns Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) A few military versions were built as in the FVRDE book above for assesment but they never went into service with the military, various government departtments used standard production ones including the large number bought by the Home office for the AFS, auvillary fire service Edited May 30, 2010 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
