Nice. Those look to be BFG M/Ts. What size are you running? Is that the stock height?

[scatterling]

235-85-16's and yes it is the stock height

[yorker]

very nice :) i know the ambulances are rare too

They aren't really that rare- a lot of them have been purchased and converted back to regular 109s though.

[KingSlug]

I have an ambulance too. Click the link in my signature you will be able to see some pics.

xsbowes, thanks for the picts, tis a fine looking LW and a fine website :)

teechizpet, thanks for the pict, tis a fine looking LW :)

[msggunny]

Its not a LW or even a cool 88, but its an ex MoD none the less.

You can see the MoD tag on the seat box, thats the only real id i have found, other than the fact that the engine is from a LW. The seat box could have been swaped out too, but the whole thing is brit army green underneath. (not the cheezy green you see in this pic)

All great pics so far. Anyone else? Surely these can't be all the MODs left on the planet!

1962 IIA FFR Carawagon top without bunk option. Two fuel tanks (used to have three). It has been original green, sand, zebra, and now back to sand.

Sorry no pictures of the 109". It's still in pieces waiting for me to finish the frame over. Too ashamed to post anything yet. :o Story goes, that one served the British in South Africa. Must have been a parade truck because the body was in such excellent shape.

[autoguy]

msggunny, cool, would you be interested in selling the old system ?

Les Parker, thanks for the pict, :)

I can actually hear the radio at 70! Didnt think that was possible.

Here is mine. It is in the process or a complete frame off restore. The body (other then the rust) will not be painted or fixed. i like it just the way it is.

Thats interesting. So did the Norwegian 109s all have front and rear tanks like that?

I agree with keeping the color scheme the way it is. Looks great!

By the way, don't forget to keep that pintle nicely lubed up. Mine kind of froze up on me just recently. It's never fun to figure that out when you need a pull out of a frozen river. :o

Oh My Gosh that camo design is SUPERB! I'm going that route next winter. I LOVE IT!

[TSR53]

Yes, this is nice looking. The white covered vintage Cibiés, Yokohama Geolanders, wider rims, flung mud and burly rope really capture the flavor too.

[autoguy]

RB, thanks for the Picts :)

It was his toy when he lived in the UK- It is a fun truck- it has a 3.5l SD1 V8 in it, RR diffs, Rear detroit- Typical UK plaything. :D

The Rims are regular US spec 15" ones though- Came off of my old series 3 or maybe one of my IIa's. He still has a set of military rims and tires somewhere but the current tires are for play.

[autoguy]

Alacrity, thanks for the picts, those are some very clean rovers :) i can even see some shine on the top two :)

[Alacrity]

first two are PA Blanchards work - they do some interesting work with ex-MOD. Cant recall the specifics on the IIAs, but resto'd to a high level for US buyer(s). Heres a few more of the same trucks.

http://home.att.net/%7Ealacritylost/Cherry_Military_109_Interior1.jpg

http://home.att.net/%7Ealacritylost/Cherry_Military_109_Interior3.jpg

The second two are BAOR 109s - FFR and the '77 109 CL - not GS as I originally posted - I currently have. Its a German Spec Civvy that spent its time in Dusseldorf (least it was full of squaddie trash from there). Pretty clean low use truck

Few others

[Momo]

I saw a Blanchard restored 109 GS in LA about 5 years ago- it was at a classic car dealer. It was done very well, probably the nicest UK sourced truck I've seen.

[autoguy]

that looks like some mighty fine work from Blanchards, and that is a fine looking rover you have :) thanks for the picts

[luckyjoe]

Alac,

That last one - bronze green soft top - is mine! I'm the second owner after Blanchards. One day I'd like o stop by and see their shop/operation...

Regards,

[greenmeanie]

Oh well, because someone else started it I'm going to have to post up my green beastie. At the moment she doesn't look this good as she is all stripped down getting rewired. She'll be pretty again in a few months once I've got her new tyres mounted and a new canvas on there.

Cheers

I want!

GM, that makes a hummer wet its self, very nice a 101 fc right ? I think a lightweight or a 101 will be my next rover, and I haven't even gotten Ludwig running right yet :)

[Willard]

Not sure about that, but doing some investigation recently most had aluminumum rear tanks with steel front tanks. mine is long gone (badly rusted) and will be replaced during the rebuild.

And thanks.

[luckyjoe]

That photo was taken shortly after the PO's importation. All nice and cleaned-up by Blanchards. At the time they really had access to the cream of the crop, low-mileage UK trucks. Mine is a nice, rock-solid example of a period truck in original condition, not a restoration. I'll find a good shot of it today - a little more weathered, as all LR's should be...

Regards,

[autoguy]

mmm weathered land rover patina :)

like the picts below, i recon since i have a Ex mil rover i can post up mine too :)

Sorry Jared, I don't want to hijack your thread, but Thompson asked for another pic of my Lightweight.

Last pic was in the desert so why not one of the same truck (different paint) in the snow AND on the other corner of the country.

aye me too :)

Sorry! That seems strange because it seemed to work for someone else who posted that way.

Try this, it is the entire album of Land Rover shots and you should be able to open it right up.

The ones I tried to put up earlier are in this album.

Hint: I got these to show up here by going to each photo in the album and "control-click" (right clicking on a PC) with my mouse over each photo. In Firefox, the "Element Properties" window pops up and in this there is the "Image Properties > Location:" I then copied the whole http:// ... address (make sure it's the one with the .jpg at the end) and you should be good to go.

Love your whole album! Great rides and times.

[LaneRover]

Glad that you like them. Unfortunatley the 69 109 p-up has sat a little long and I need to spend a bunch of time getting it going again when I am back in Maine next. Made the mistake of trying to start it BEFORE checking on how old and nasty the fuel was.

If I post a bunch more I will re-send the link!

[ktom300]

Just picked this up for almost nothing. Ok, it was free to anyone who would tow it away.
Started up after ~3 hours and a wheel/master cylinder rebuild later, she drives like a champ. Now I'm touching up the camo and getting all the lights working correctly.

[greenmeanie]

Lanerover,
Great piccies. One question. In the pictures of your blue 66 SWB it has 8 spoke wheels. Do you know who made them where they came from? My new 67 109 has the same wheel by the look of it but only came with 4. I want to get one for the spare. Of course, I have great plans to put on 110 steelies eventually but that will have to wait until I have done a lot of other fun things to the truck.

Cheers

Welcome to RoversNorth forum! Good find, and to boot for FREE. Looks like a nice project. Keep the photos flowing

The wheels came with the truck when I bought it and I do not have a spare 8 spoke either! I do not know who made them but next time I am in Maine I could take a look! That won't be until the end of May though.

Brent

[greenmeanie]

Cheers for that. I'll be taking the better part of a year (I'm an optimist) to rebuild this beastie so I'm in no hurry. I just don't want to end up with the 'space saver ' look.
