That's an FV432 APC or derivative as well

Is that an FV432 also?
Interesting to see the Stalwart road registered - I think the 6x6 was permanent and couldn't be disengaged - hence the markings on the wheel hubs so you could see if there was any transmission wind up. No details on the Stolly but the Land Rover reg returns the following info: Vehicle make LAND ROVER Date of first registration 16 October 1987 Year of manufacture 1987 Cylinder capacity (cc) 2495cc CO₂Emissions Not available Fuel type DIESEL Export marker No Vehicle status SORN in place Vehicle colour RED Vehicle type approval Not available Wheelplan 2 AXLE RIGID BODY Revenue weight 3050kg MOT expired 18th Dec 2010 |

At 2.62 metres in width, a Stolly is overwidth for use on the road and legally cannot be driven on the road. There are some that are, because in earlier days what is now DVSA was not clued up enough to check at time of registration, but it is illegal none-the-less. The only exception would be if you could find a way to register and use on under Special Types regs, but the vehicle design prohibits this (it is a load carrier - you'd have to convert it into something like a locomotive, for example). Even then you could not drive it recreationally on the road.
You could alternatively perhaps make it narrower somehow. Under current regimes you would not be able to register an unregistered one now. It is indeed permament 6-wheel drive and driving it on hard surfaces will have a detrimental effect on the wheelstations, leading to a very expensive failure in short order. |

Always loved the stolly, I think they look awesome and with their truly awesome off-road/ water performance (ok was a little slow) they are hard to beat. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Love this video of a Stalwart 'launch'
There used to be a guy at Rookin House that had a Stalwart and he used to drive it down to Ullswater and go for a dip Cheers Ian -------------------- 22MY Defender 110 D200 SE, Fuji White. Kielder 4x4 Safari Instagram @defender_v8 |

That comes under "Farmer Regs"
 
I believe that as a tractor has a speed limit of 20mph almost anything is permitted. Bit like using the JD to take your kids to school in the snow  |

It's because "Agricultural Machines" have a wider max permitted width. A stolly isn't (and cannot readily become) an agricultural machine, and if it did it would be subject to limitations on its use.

Mk2 Stalwart's - Full swimmer with crane very low miles £18,000 http://www.tanks-alot.co.uk/sales.htm Swimming appears to be the issue - non-swimmers are from £6k...I think I remember that you could pick one up for £500 after the inital civvy owners got bored with the first batch of cast ones. |

I work for a teambuilding company based in Bristol. We have on our fleet a Green Goddess, Stolly with crane, 2 X AFV432. An early Mk1a, Petrol engined version, built approx 1965. Lovely to drive. And a later multi fuel K60 powered version. We used to have a Chieften which was used for car crushing, and there is an Abbot kicking about as well but I've not seen that move in a few years.
People pay good money to come and drive all of these. After driving APC's whilst serving, it is very strange to be instructing people how to drive them. And people pay good money to do it as well. Swimming kits for the stolly are rarer than rocking horse poo, hence the money they fetch. 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |
