Project Tithonus! So thats probably what mine underwent i imagine. I knew there was something that happened along those lines. I was speaking to a chap today from the EMLRA who stated it would have been fixed up to look like a wolf by the new owner who purchased it from the MOD auction.
Hate to break it to you but Project Tithous only started in 2006/07-2008/09. This was essentially a mid life up grade to fill a stop gap with the older defenders and make them safer/and comply with the changes in legislation. The Mod also realised that the Wolfs were struggling to meet their service lifetime so something was required to releave the burdon on the wolf fleet.
As far as I,m aware the Mod has never used 200tdi,s in any of its defenders/wolfs....an I,ve been driving mod landrovers since 1998.
Sounds like the previous owner has bought one and "fixed" it up to look like a wolf.....I don't understand the attraction in Wolfs most of them are shagged and have had one hell of a hard life. Any that come up for sale are behind economical repair or are the 90 GS which is useless today hence why Witihams has them fur 14 grand!
