Wow. What a find. I wonder if they have more military vehicles like yours tucked away in the reserves.

What a fantastic record. I'd almost be tempted to supplement it with my own for posterity! Darren

Most 404 mogs have a gvw of 4500kg. If it is older than 1960 you can drive on a car license. If newer you need an hgv license. Mine is 1962 but I've had it downplated to 3500kg so can be driven on a car license. Its 2600kg so can still carry 900kg.

Removed the load bed floor as it was rotten.
Toying with idea of relocating the battery and fuel tanks to improve the ramp over angles a bit

Stunning vehicle - I’m very jealous. Maybe I can squeeze one more in the collection. Defender First Edition

Well they have good taste when it comes to choosing their accommodation!
Years ago when I had my 101 FC and I hadn't used it for a few weeks I found bats roosting in one of the pockets on the tilt where the ends of the rear canvas flap/window buckle into the sides. I disturbed them when undoing the flap and they flew back to the eaves of the garage which I think was their previous home. |
