Cheers! Thumbs Up
Just washed it off and put it away.
Had a good run out, all the way to Buxton, which was a 300 mile round trip for me.
The wheel at each corner makes it easy drive and park compared to the 110!

Nice Thumbs Up
Another 240S built in 2005/6. Is / was it yours?

Edit- no it's a 250S

No, afraid not. It was one of the guys in the club.

It was a beast off-road and suited the winch challenge scene back then. To be honest I loved the early events with full bodied vehicles, I took part in four with my 300TDI 110 but in the end was priced out when people started to build the tray backs and buggies and they are more a speed event now rather than problem solving and vehicle/winching finesse.


Good ole days Very Happy

So which model is this one?

The wheelbase seems shorter, at least the section behind the door to the wheel arch than the two others posted above.

That is a very early model, possibly No1, as the picture came from @IbexVehicles. I don't know much about the early ones, but I think it will be a 93" WB

Looking again at the green challenge truck it looks like a 250 (100"), sorry my mistake.
A late 240, with the rear arch closer to the door.

Yeah, I took part in the Warn Winch Challenge in 1999, we were in a Series 3 LWB v8. Standard apart from tyres and a 8274 on the front!
Great times Thumbs Up

That's when the top teams had Ibex's. I promised myself to get one, one day and couldn't let the chance go by when a nice one came up. I've had it almost 7 years now.

I don't think the Ricardo link is still there, it was that link, IMV, that set the marque back by several years, killing off the, until then, active owner's club, the annual(ish) Ibex Fest etc...


Just re~Reading the whole topic and wondered what "IMV" means?

Some good coverage for the brand in Farmer's Weekly:

Anyone know what system this could be?

"Instead of a fuse board, all wires terminate in the touchscreen computer in the cabin and there are electric breakers that trip if there’s a fault. All of this is sealed to prevent water ingress, and if there are any problems with the screen, it’s relatively simple to replace. “It’s basically a clever way of being simple,” says Mr Foers."

Didn't realise that there was an 18 month waiting list!
