She started life out as a Tac-T fire engine of which 15 were made. Used as part of the cold war effort, the purpose was to accompany Harrier jump jets from secret woodland areas. Well that is what she started life as, now stripped of her former glory, she were's a new frock, that of a series 3 frock. This old girl got a face lift, as parts for her are hard to come by. Scratch below the suface and you will find the odd daub of red paint, just to remind you of her checkered past.

You can also see the 1inch lift of the militry chassis. (HTM) http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p99/tencars/Landrover%20109/180220090231.jpg The new coat of paint going on. Notice the twin tank bracket and the handbrake mount for the 67 chassis.
