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 . . .

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 Click image to enlarge Charlie 1949 Series 1 80 (SOLD) 2002 Td5 90 (SOLD) 2008 Freelander 2 (SOLD) 1958 Series 2 88 Pastel Green (2019 LR Legends Best Restored) 1983 V8 110 Limestone (Previously owned by Tom Sheppard MBE) 2004 Td5 90 Santorini Black (Td5INSIDE Powered & Rebuilt by CSK) 2012 Puma 110 Zermatt Silver (Overlanding Build) Instagram: @BaronDefenders |

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!

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.
