"Lightweights have removable body sections and unique axles and halfshafts. "
Only the early ones. Once the Chinook and Hercules were in service the width ws no longer a problem.
Later ones had normal Series axles.

I still seem to remember hearing that the Rapier Tractors were un-restricted due to their role and that they were intended to be driven by more responsible drivers (that may have just been a wind-up or an 'in joke' as that was not my field of expertise). Of course that doesn't mean to say that some didn't get restricted engine if they were ever in short supply of un-restricted ones.
Yep your right about timing, ideally LPG needs about 6 degrees more advance to run at it's best because it's slower burning and higher octane that normal '2 Star' petrol that they were intended to run on. I think the Military engines were even required to be able to run on some decidedly dodgy fuel.

FWIW:
I have an ex-Navy 127 Ambulance with a V8. It goes as fast as my bowels and wallet want! The army ambulances were restricted.

Let us know how you get on.
We're "planning" a similar trip in August.

Interesting topic.
Don't forget that if you buy a mountaineering type tent that they are designed for using for just a couple of weeks per year for a couple of years. And as light as possible.
UV degrades them significantly so that they loose their water repelancy and strength.
Trail mag (I think) tested various tents on the top of Leeds University a couple of years back, recording their effectiveness if left up for the summer.

MOT Failure Lambda Test
in Range Rover Forum
Posted
I had problems with my emmissions.
I looked for a Manufactured date and a First Registered date, only to find that the MOT directive has a Used date!!!
I threw the lamda sensors and Cats away. Got my K reg tested as a Used in '92. i.e. before the Must Have date.
Sorted!
