109 questions

stratie:
Hi guy's, it's been along time, hope you are all well.
Just picked up a 24 volt 109 ragtop in white. It's been dry stored for year's, so is in pretty good nick.
Assuming it's the same colour now as it was when it came out of the MOD.....why is it painted in white?
Also, why would it be 24V....i cant see any thing that points to it being FFR.
I'll get some more info and picture's up at some point today.
Cheer's.

Disco Matt:
Might it have been involved with UN-backed peacekeeping operations of some sort? That would explain the colour.

As for the 24v, who knows. Maybe it was ordered with 24v electrics for a specific role other than FFR? It does occur to me that if you were escorting aid convoys it might be handy to have a vehicle with the ability to jump-start 24v HGVs?

dxmedia:
24v would have been because everything else was. It's also more reliable (lower current draw) than 12v.

sMUDge:
Agreed & the white paint was when we went from the UN Mission (White Paint) to IFOR (Implementation Force)  :)

sMUDge:
Oh & thats two questions, where's the other 107  :-k   :lol:    :clap:
