I had pondered on Stonefield (Scotland) , some pre-pro that had stood around 40 years and then somebody had done the DP (that does seem a recent re-finish).

ruxy Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Part of the Penman (Scotland) clear-out (it was a good idea at the time) ? https://www.thexmod.com/item_detail.asp?id=44669 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I recently came across a photograph of a Penman Eng. "Hotspur" armoured 110 , this also has a look of Glover Webb. However Hotspur was not cab over axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltwtbarmy Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This isn’t a cab over axle. The bonnet is sitting behind the body. Also, looks like what might be a rear light pod is sitting just behind the bonnet, with Penman written on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , you are correct , I hadn't looked at the other photograph of bonnet in detail, the other photograph - the blue dazzel DP is doing what it is supposed to do. Looking again at the Hotspur photograph (Land Rover by John Tippler (1996) , using imagination of bonnet in front of cab - clearly it confirms Hotspur. Windscreen details differ slightly , along with vision holes for glazing & rifle ports - same , rear body detail seems different but only slightly.

eddy8men Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 i've just bought it and apparently no one really knows what it's original designation was. i was told it might have been a protoype for an iraqi afv contract but it's not certain. i may never find out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy8men Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Really pleased with it. Got an old range rover to mount it on but not sure if its man enough to take the weight. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Well at least you had a proper roof light if the polis had done a border pull , before Covid-19 , smaller roads around X'mas - the excuse used to be poultry theft check.

Is there any form of chassis members on underside ? Any bolt holes with paint off that would be a clue to any original suspension etc. assuming they got that far . Interior does suggest it was at a running stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Very interesting, a bit like an armoured 3-door Range Rover TACR2a 6x6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 it looks to have been up and running as a demonstrator but was stripped afterward. the current plan is to get hold of a beefy chassis and big yank diesel with autobox to go under it. i could use a land rover but i want it to be strong. i'm also going to make it amphibious as it's already a sealed steel box so it will float whether you want it to or not! should be an interesting project and will make a welcome change from slavish restoration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy8men Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 it's interesting because i can just make it up as i go along. if i can get it to swim that would be great, as it sits the internal volume is 8 cube but after it's chopped it will be down to 5,5. should still be enough to float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
