question land rover info please

[gra88swb]

Hi,

I have recently found out some info regarding its MOD life.

88" FFR, RHD, 24 volt,40A - so seems originally a Toastrack, DBG.

registration was 45DM67.

I applied to RLC Museum Deepcut for its 'B' card and was informed that they had no cards for vehicles 45DM00 to 45DM99.

Does anyone know where 45DM-- vehicles may have served.

this is the Land Rover when I bought it in 1993

has lost all of its 24v, FFR looks.

it also has these unusual windscreen hinges.

any ideas will be much appreciated.

thanks

Graham

Oh the famous Rover 8 cut hinges!!!! these have been the subject of much debate over the years on the EMLRA forum, at Beltring this year the answer was finally found in a old EMER. There is a full document explaining where to cut and drill the hinge so it and the windscreen can be taken off too;

enable 2 Rover 8's to be squeezed in side by side in a Argosy transport aircraft. Much the same as the lightweight was later designed to do.
