looks odd imho, just does not look right at all.

It's a scam someone has taken a standard 88" series 2 and fooked about with it. the letter in the photo even says 88" petrol basic :doh:
FC were only ever made in 109" wheel base.. or with the later ones 110..

They did do a shorty fc prototype but they proved dangerous when braking.
Never heard of any survivors though

Nope the iia & iib FC were built before the 101FC, Neither were used by the british army (not officially amyway) the 101FC was exclusively designed for use by the british army.

So do we actually believe that a prototype as rare as a center steer, series 1. is actually on Ebay????? according to a bit of rapid googling. Only 2 swb FC prototypes were made by Landrover. and only 1 is known to survive.

That earlier link said that some companies did conversions
"This however did not prevent aftermarket converters such as Alfred Miles from developing and producing their own vehicles..."
so could this be one of those conversions?

It could be. But that wouldn't make it a rare prototype would it??
I still think it's an homemade jobby.
