The 127" ambulance on E-bay I would presume is coil sprung, this chassis is leaf sprung. No V5 or any other docs apart from the tax discs that MAY belong to it!:)

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".

Hi All, not sure if this is the right place for this, but have decided to try and sell this project, It is currently on E-Bay. Best to all.:)

Series Ones never had one mate!:)

Had this happen on a Montego Turbo Diesel many years back. Diesel was getting into the sump somehow and when the level rose to probably breather level it sucked up into turbo and straight out thru exhaust, running engine at full revs until it ran out of 'mixture'. What a mess!:eek:

Thanx Mike, all sorts of possibilities, that one does seem reasonable. Yes it is a project and a half, still considering if the chassis is salvageable or not!

Well Dunsfold have no idea apart from maybe a tractor related machine by Ferguson. No info on the 127" either.

Thanx 109party, have e-mailed them with a few pics.

Nothing to suggest it was ever fitted to this vehicle. How do you contact Dunsfold? have another query for them with my 127" leaf sprung chassis (see previous post).

Thanx Crazyjase, could be, but I cant think how the central hinge would be fixed.

Hi All, just been taking tub and seat box from my 80" project to inspect chassis - most of which fell on the floor! Re-discovered a single screen that came with it years back. Looks like its made from an ordinary screen, has hinges both sides, my question is Why? Any ideas?

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 ...

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

Hi All, attempting to add pics of this 127, overall length is approx. 16 feet and prop is approx. 5 feet.

Thanks All, will try to uncover it a bit more and take some pics.

Just checked dumb iron and number, although difficult to make out, does not appear to correspond to bulkhead plate. Looks like it starts 9110 which would relate to a 109" of similar vintage. It gets stranger!

Yes, seen pics of this, but not the same. Lorry style tank fitted to outside of chassis I believe. This has twin tanks, one under driver's seat and one betwen chassis at rear.

Totally agree with you, but I still feel this is a genuine Land Rover product , do they have records of special conversions, and are they available to view?

Does look as if it has been done in the factory, but who knows? It has a buggered Perkins 4203 in it with Fairey O/D and FWhubs and tow bar that is adjustable on a heavy duty screw thread. Chassis is in excellent condition with no signs of rot anywhere.

Centre of front axle to centre of rear axle!
