It's owned by the owner of the coach company, he also drives a P38 that's a bit unwell at the moment so I guess the 101 is back on the road. I've been laning with him and that's a very competent vehicle :D He's in the Coast Guard too and has used it on support stuff too. If you live in Mid Wales this was also the coastie that went out to a rescue on the day of his wedding when he got paged. He made it to the wedding on time though ;)

Paul's 101

Some photos on my flickr account there for you ;)

There's a load on the ocean floor near the Falklands.

101s were never really very common and as has been said there are no more to come out fo the army, the last ones been reserve and territorial machines.  The 130s that replaced them in some roles are getting demobbed too.  They are mostly over 30 years old now though, so I guess they are being cosseted, stored or just hiding away until the prices go back up.

Maybe it's just not that time of year.

carbore:
Someone near me has a very nice one that looks like its the tow car for a competition landy. Looks very tidy and guaranteed to get you out of the paddock at meets. I wont say where though for obvious reasons.

One of the guys at our local LR club has just sold his totally original GS. Still on leaf springs, no gas, etc. So many have been modded to make them more useable, but this one was totally unmolested.
