Post by: Bush Tucker Man on June 17, 2005, 14:39:30: Now that does look 'the biz'

I've seen in the dim & distant past a full-size version of that, when the Motor-Show used to be at the NEC & combined with trucks & parts.
The thing is it's a long time ago (1980?) & I threw all the old show catalogues when we moved into this house.
Possibly an Ogle Design though?

Computer equipment, medical equipment, photo copiers. Stuff that needs to be delivered using air ride motors (cuase they dont bounce like leaf springs)
We also install photo copiers for Ricoh, Lanier and Konica Minolta.
Our depot, Iver (Nr Heathrow) covers the south of England. All the way to Devon, Norfolk, Kent and Northants.
Have a look here (http://www.relayeurope.co.uk/index2.html) for our website.
Ps, If anyone wants to use Relay to move their equipment around please say my name, i get a bonus!!
:D

How come I've never seen a trailer made out of the back of a 110? Surely some ones made one before?? it would look dead good especially if the trailer matched the towing vehicle (color/model etc)

Not exactly what you're asking about, but Special Vehicles have made several artics
1. There's one in the current issue of 'LRM' (http://www.lrm.co.uk/mainpages/thisissueUK/backissues.html), complete with box-trailer.

2. Years ago (60's) Dixon-bate produced a 5th wheel trailer (http://landrover.vlothuizen.nl/show/list/7016-1.html) as well.

3. In Australia, 110's were modified (http://www.4wdonline.com/LandRover/Defender/sawn.off.html)

4. There used to be a bridge (http://www.hepco.co.uk/hep10164.htm) at events that a 5th wheel equipped 6x6 Defender used to tow.

Sorry, but searching for a photo is a bit of a 'needle lost in hay-stack' task
