Ex ADF Landrover

Post by hell-fire » Tue Dec 19, 2017 10:08 pm

Collected this today, It is an Ex Australian Army 110 RFSV which stands for "Regional Force Surveillance Vehicle" These are well equipped with items like long range fuel Tanks, driving lights, snorkel winch, split rim wheels and lots of other stuff unique to these type of vehicles.

It spent its life at the Pilbra Regiment which is in the north west of Western Australia.

It has less than 17,000 Kilometers from new which is around 10,000 miles.

More photos to come.

Time to tour when all is done, sounds like a plan!
Alan Johnson's teardrop behind the LR or GPW would be ideal with a Suzuki rack on the back.

As we know ball & chains hold one down!

Really like to know when Jon R's GPW will hit the track.
We've had Mini's, LR's plus all these English derivatives, but still the GPW needs....what?
Maybe Jon needs other than whitworth sockets & spanners :idea:

BTW Aussies are expected/allowed to laugh @ themselves & one another, for those unfamiliar with our egalitarian outlook/culture. Sh*t stirring is also on the cards.

After registering on The Aussie ex military Landrover site by sheer luck a guy sent me a couple of photos of this very vehicle in service, although the quality is down the registered number matches the original log book, I consider myself lucky to get such a photo.

Thanks to Jon Rogers also for his assistance.
