Not enough detail to see whether a Series I or Series II and not a Morris Major Elite. Yes. My apologies for not looking in earlier, but it is a Morris Major, in this case a Series II rather than an Elite, but from this angle they both look the same anyway. Welcome, dear visitor!

Furthermore the Elite had a chrome wedge so to speak on the rear mudguards. Edited August 16, 2021 by hektor Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted August 17, 2021 Share #15889 Posted August 17, 2021 Forward control Land Rover 101? Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted August 17, 2021 Share #15890 Posted August 17, 2021 Land Rover, definitely, but not 101". Possibly S11B Forward Control, on 110" chassis. That or a modified 109" - the storage box in the wing/wheelarch is likely not standard LR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted August 17, 2021 Share #15892 Posted August 17, 2021 What about the French built version, the Fichier IIa 109 used instead of the more expensive Unimogs as French forest fire vehicles? Very appropriate at the moment as we have had very big fires locally over the last two days which we can see from my house. My brother's house, about 40km south, lost most of the gardens and various garden buildings, tennis court, much of the vineyard and tractor sheds but they stopped the fire just before it reached the main house. Sadly a whole row of 1000 year old olive trees has been burnt. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted August 17, 2021 Share #15893 Posted August 17, 2021 Not a Fichier - I will post another slightly bigger crop. I will (in the end) probably be relying either of you two LR experts to fully identify the model. I thought I had a clear picture of the vehicle plate but its not as legible as I thought...I am however disappearing further and further down a rabbit hole of LR production codes!

wlaidlaw Posted August 18, 2021 Share #15895 Posted August 18, 2021 Could it be a Land Rover Wolf? Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted August 18, 2021 Share #15896 Posted August 18, 2021 Don't think the Wolf had galvanised body cappings Wilson. Spanish built Santana? Initially built from CKD, but eventually Santana produced their own versions of Land Rovers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached some further views. It's my friends "beach car" that we use in the Hamptons hence the non-military paint job (it also has a striped hood a la Jolly - but minus the fringing!)

NigelG Posted August 18, 2021 Share #15899 Posted August 18, 2021 It's an FFR (Fitted For Radio) 3/4t Series 3 version but I'm struggling to get further with the codes to know exactly what/where etc it was deployed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 18, 2021 Share #15900 Posted August 18, 2021 I had a FFR Airportable Mk.2 with twin dynamos, 12V and 24V, I assume the latter for the radio transceivers. It had twin 12 gallon tanks under the front seats, an ideal location for driving over minefields. It had an ultra low compression engine, capable of running on 40-50 octane petrol. Originally it had a top speed of around 50 MPH but went a lot better after I machined about 6mm off the cylinder head to raise the CR.
