Spotted An Unusual

defenderdan:
I'm guessing 4wd was selectable as per series motors :?:

Litch:
Correct. Part-time 4WD was available on the very first 110's (they also used the old 2.25 motors until the 2.5 was available) and FWH's were a factory option.
The earlier ones you have seen with perm 4WD might have been V8's? Sure they weren't 4-cyl vehicles with part-time 4WD but were not fitted with FWH's?  


Rumour has it that a few years later someone bought up a job lot of new 110 FWH's to sell to Series owners but then found out that the hubs / splines were different and they wouldn't fit anything else.
True or urban myth?

Devon-Rover:
Ohh it's one of those rare factory prototype 110's that used the selectable 2WD / 4WD aller series stylee.

Being on a A plate it must have been registerd quiet late by the factory when it was released. As my mate has an A plate 110. that used to be a 2.5 petrol with standard LT77 LT230R setup.

Other features is the two peice front doors.

Bush Tucker Man:
It has indeed got Free Wheeling Hubs, & selectable 4wd was an option with the 2&1/4 engines initially offered.
It was quickly dropped as no-one really bought any.

I've got a sales brochure down in the snug for this, featuring lots of lovely brown Countys :D

It's not very good, but here's a photo taken through the window of the transfer lever

bezzabsa:
