What is your current Military Vehicle - show us a picture

Recommended Posts

I thought maybe we can get some more interaction and posts on the forum, so what better way than we all post an image of what Military Vehicle we are currently running or working on. Might encourage some new members to get involved and show off their pride and joy or financial ruin!

I'll go first, here one of my projects:

1997 Land Rover Wolf 90 HS FFR (Remus upgrade). Having served most of it's life in Bosnia and Germany it was shipped back to the UK and sold and then shipped back again to Germany where it now is retired.

Two Austin K9s, a very early one and a very late one (not deliberately, just the way it worked out), and a Bedford RL, though they've all been parked up for years rather depressingly. Might be for sale soon. I'll see if I can find some photos.

The early K9 is interesting as it has what's basically the civilian Loadstar cab, though with the wheel arch extensions, and lots of detail differences to the later K9s. I think it was only the first few hundred that were like this.

My only MV nowadays is this TUM(HS) ex 51 Sqn RAF Regt Airfield Defence now with a hard top seen here last year at the Dunchurch show.

My Shorland after 33 years of ownership is now in Ulster Transport Museum.

This is our 1942 Commer Q2...30cwt GS bodied truck. Restored by us over the last 3-4 years...Still with a few small finishing jobs required for this year's show season.

This is the most recent addition to our collection. We’ve had it over a year already. Hope to have it at Tanks, Trucks & Firepower again this year. We took it last year but didn’t drive it as one of the water pumps started leaking.

It's funny with naming our vehicles...a couple of our cars have names but none of the lorries...but, strangely my Wife said this morning out of the blue 'I wonder if the kids should name the lorries?'...

Pretty much every vehicle in our MVT club is named and painted on apart from a couple of Jeeps
