Replaced the BGC needles with BBW ones over the weekend and then balanced the carbs. Hoping to get the 110 to Mech in Cheltenham on Friday for a proper tune.

Just fitted a front axle breather, as the pipe was completely missing . . . Charlie

Canopy off. Rather liking the look, I must say.

Sadly the iFor has damaged the back of the cab. Hey ho.

Even the Texels love a good V8 rumble!

I'm loving not having the iFor on the back now

After some digging, it turns out my One Ten once was owned by the renowned overlander Tom Sheppard! What a bit of provenance eh!

This wheel well insert was the biggest giveaway, but the vehicle has a few load space modifications that are visible in his Vehicle-Based Expedition Guide. Plus a V8 One Ten pick-up in Limestone is unique, I’d say.

No I don’t know. I’ve just ordered a copy of the 1st edition of Vehicle-Dependent Expedition Guide, in which the vehicle appears.

I’ve sent Tom’s business an email, but haven’t heard back yet. Hopefully he will respond! Charlie

I absolutely love this!! Fantastic history, I’m a big fan of Tom!

Are you going to put it back to the spec when he had it?!

I don’t think I’ll go back to a full tilt, as I love the truck cab look.

If I could find a decent bonnet with a spare mount then I might stick that on. Charlie
