Here comes bankruptcy and imminent divorce!!
Just bought this little farm find with a mate. Its originally a petrol but the lump in it is a 2.4 diesel. British army finest squaddie carrier! We are looking to return it to original state if we can. Any thoughts.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Shipping is my thing. If we cant shift it, to anywhere, it cant be shifted!! md.couriers@virgin.net |

Thanks buddy - she's a cracker.
Solid underneath and the chassis and outriggers looks mint. A lot of work on tho. Shipping is my thing.

Looks good. Wish it was in my shed
Like the idea of going back to original. A motor like that deserves the respect |

I think it's already in a state, and it's pretty original 
Just remember I ended up selling mine to Woody. So my advice? Call Woody

Hi Dave,
Looks great, funny when I was looking at a series I was the one who was unsure.... Wife said just buy it!!! I went round it on the ramps prior to buying and a screw driver I was using went right through in places 
I've already named yours 'The Gaffer' Looking at the plate. Given what its going to ask of you doing it up, it could be quite apt. Funny only today I was talking to a colleague about doing my Series up and one job... changing the crank pulley seal. What a job, working during winter at night under a car port. Flood lights, took us 3 hrs swearing and larger and larger bars / hammers... However once done, two very happy fellas and cheaper than a night in the pub 
Love my series and the events and people I have met since owning it. Good look doing up the 'Gaffer' Are you keeping the van sides.... kitting it out inside? Mine still requires a lot doing but its usable and fun
As bought Click image to enlarge now Click image to enlarge |
