About 3 or 4 years ago I saw a Series Land-Rover with a longer than usual wheelbase in the Co-Op car park in Lampeter. It had a coachbuilt wooden pick up body on the back. I wander if this is the one you've picked up?

The tax discs relating to an L reg found in dash were issued in Lampeter. Sounds a very good lead. Many thanks.

Picture #5 seems to show where the chassis has been cut and lengthened. My guess is that it's not a factory conversion. I can't really remember much about the vehicle: It had a standard front end as I recall but the rear body seemed to be of a kind of oldy worldy 1930s sort of style. It was a very unusual looking and striking vehicle. I think it was mostly a maroon colour. Do you have any of the bodywork? What are you planning on doing with it?

Hi Fenby, seems this could be the one, the only bodywork is the bulkhead and bonnet which is light yellow, although the lower bulkhead where the hinges are is maroon! As to what I will do with it I don't have a clue at the moment. I do have a spare 2.5 N/A diesel engine, so that may go in it , but as to bodywork, who knows? As it tends to take a while for motivation on my part I may sell it on as a project and invest the money in the series one projects - more motivation required!. Many thanks for your input.

Thanks for all of your input guys, but was the ambulance version built on a 127" chassis? The ones that I know of are based on a 109".
