Hi Mac,

Sorry to hear that you missed out, I'm sure there will be something waiting for you just around the corner.

Did you get any pics?

Hope you are right ....
Because I thought deal was done, only pics other than chassis number I took were of ..... wheel rims. Haven't seen this type before. Split rim with lugs. Winterised kit?

Looks like the wheels were nicked from a chariot!

Most RN Rover 1s were GS not FFR. You do not say if headlights in wings or not? I suspect it is from contract WV9322 (or WV9383 which was FFR)
Agreed should be a GS not FFR,

I wonder what an MOT tester will think of them? I suppose you could argue that they don't present too much of a hazard as they don't stick out past the FWH's.

Land Rover equivalent of James Bonds hubs on his Aston perhaps.
Bet they appear on gleebay sometime soon, probably for outrageous amount.
There is the suggestion elsewhere part winterised kit. Norway perhaps.
Still seething.......

I gave up after the initial attempts. Spent some of this morning fitting the front axle to the chassis so I'm glad i laid off the sauce last night.

I sort of want those wheels now :lol:
