he did the first east to west crossing of the sahara by vehicle (a couple of 101's i think in the mid 70's).

1975 and it was four 101's including two with the ill-fated powered trailers. The trailers were to provide the extra carrying capacity for all of the fuel they needed, but they proved troublesome and I think they were both eventually abandoned.


yep the one with the mini eyeball vents in the roof - i plan to do the same conversion on my 110; i've already got the vent assembly off ebay.
his books are excellent reading; highly recommend " all quiet for a tuesday"


Hi Farmer giles,

first off, nice avatar!

Id love to know more about the roof vent. Can you link the ebay assembly or give a brand. I thought I read here that you said it was made from MDF?? is that medium density fibreboard? I thought it was sourced from a truck or rally application???

if you get the time, some close ups of the dash to give ideas to its construction would be great.

cheers
Serg

hi serg.

it is me in the avatar Shocked Wink

i've put a link to the description about tom's vehicle.
the vents are from a mini classic dash (make sure you get the tubes with it if buying off ebay -cost approx £15 incl postage); and the outer box is made with mdf (yes medium density fibreboard).

any questions then please don't hesitate to ask Thumbs Up
