Lovely Picture

Picture shows Taff Tunnah Team Leader at RAF Leuchars and Dave Lofts Inspector of Land Rescue.

Judging by the number plate it's an RAF Land Rover used by the MRT. Looks like a snow stretcher on the roof? Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

SAT,s were quite quiet compared with the Michelin XTR army things, you could hear an old lightweight miles away. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

You can still buy tyres new with that exact same tread on them. Can't remember the name of them now though. Rolling Eyes

Think it was the Deestone extra grip.

That 'plaque' above the bumper says 'Mountain Rescue'. There's another picture of the same vehicle here:

Proper Landrover. Still prefer this though, would like to make a repro one day (sadly this one is no longer on the road)
