New to Land Rover ownership, but not old cars!
Plans for power steering and some sound insulation to keep the wife happy(ish).

Gotta love an ex mod!
Just stuck a 300tdi and pas in mine as well as defender seats, side windows and a headlining. Wife still don't like it which means there is one less whine to listen to when I drive it!!!

Looks a very tidy truck! Enjoy!!

That is super smart and probably under worked judging by the roundel

That looks very smart. Nice one.

Do you know its military history?

Not sure of its history yet, I'll have to try and enquire with the MOD. Not sure how but I'll have a look.

FWIW mate it seems to have had a Comms role. It's got dexion shelving in the back, Coax grommets for a candelabra and TUAM mounts in the quarters. It wouldn't have been too 'tactical' because you would normally use a 110 to fit all the required kit in it.

Just my humble opinion.

Apparently had a battery and 24v alternator prior to me purchasing it. States it was FFR on the plate.

Still has a radio operators seat in the back, not fixed in though as I had bench seats put in.

FFR is Fitted for radio. We used to have 4 x batteries linked under that shelving behind the rear bulkhead.

Any more information and I'll be arrested....

You can make a freedom of information request to the MOD

email this email and state your the keeper and you want to make a freedom of information request. Send the details from the plate on the side of the seat tub - they need the military registration not the dvla one.

I had the new bench seats fitted in the back, to be fair I think the mat does it a lot of justice.

Got the freedom of information reply from the MOD. Not much detail in it. Served with an Artillery air mobile detachment, then 5 Regiment Royal Artillery and then 202sq Royal Logistics Corps.
