Thanks for the link Paul. Yes I do have 2! One is a pick-up very similar to the one in the pictures on the link. The other is a troop carrier style hardtop with side doors and windows. The pick-up is a non runner due to the lack of a gearbox but the hardtop has tax and M.O.T.  Doncha just love e-bay!

So far all I can find out is that they've got the Volvo B20 2litre engine and are more Meccano built than a Land Rover!

I'll take some pics and post them soon.

I'd been looking at the C303. Possible camper conversion. And can be rather cheaper than a 101. And, dare I say it, a bit more exclusive  :lol:

4x4 or 6x6?

Both! Or rather either. Just idle thought really at this stage. A 6x6 would be just a bit cool, wouldn't it? But not sure the driveway would take the strain of a 303, a 110, a Freelander and a Zuke! Might have to 'modify' the back garden..... concrete!
