owenmi01 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi There, This introduction is going to be short and sweet as i am not ex-military and do not yet have any military vehicles as we speak... I am however actively looking to buy an ex-military Landrover 90 or 110 so hopefully will put some more info on here shortly.. cheers Mike;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenmi01 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 I have been along to the Saddleworth Show for the last couple of years, even seen the odd tv star there... it seems to be mainly Austin Champs and then American vehicles...not too many tracked vehicles at all but its still interesting...maybe this year i will get to say hello to you... 1 of my best memories was 2 years ago when there was a fly past by a Lancaster Bomber...seeing it come in over the hillls 3 times and drop down into the valley was very impressive and a fantastic sound too... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manchester branch of the Military Vehicle Trust meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at "The Lancaster Club", Broadway, Oldham you would be very welcome to attend, vehicle ownership is not necessary. Our meetings start around 8pm with the formal part of the meeting starting at 9pm and lasting about 20 minutes. Popular MV magazines are usually on sale at the meeting. If you do come to the meeting ask for John Riley and I'll introduce you to a few people with similar vehicle interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenmi01 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi There, I have been pointed towards this ebay advert and whilst very interesting the 500mile round trip is just too far i think unless anyone on here maybe is able to take a look for me or maybe it belongs to someone here? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EX-MILITARY-LANDROVER-AND-SANKEY-TRAILER-/180608142481?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0d158c91 thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover8FFR Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hello Mike and welcome. Ex Northerner here too. Born and bred in Eccles, Manchester until 1995 then moved in a southern direction for love and career. Haven't looked back since. Enjoy the forum and glad to see another Land Rover enthusiast. If you are after a fine Land Rover 90 then FV1609 has, or may still have a Wolf FFR 90 for sale at a good price. It was advertised on the forum recently. I have seen the vehicle and it is a fine specimen. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owenmi01 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks Wayne I would luv to have purchased a Wolf but finances just didnt allow... I did manage to get my hands on a 90 FFR that i am very pleased with... see what you think cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
