pux Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Found this while looking for the refit photo's of the MOD land rovers and came across this. It looks like it was a last minute thought to me as its just the same as the old 110 but with the new engine!! here's a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stageonesimmo Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Nah, I rekon they just grabbed the first bonnet that came to hand off the line - they aren't putting new engines in them at re-furb, just overhauled 19J's so why the hell that bonnet needs to be on it is a mystery.

Guest diesel_jim Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd say that one ^^^^^ is a new type.... bonnet, no vent flaps, new type intercooler and front grill, and you can just make out the top of the dash "bulges" interesting they've got rid of the wolf-type jerrycan doors and used the older ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stageonesimmo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah they only made it onto the 127 Amby fleet (the first of the WOLF series to come off the line) but they were binned in favour of the solid plate type as seen on XD's. If it was up to me I'd have binned the new jerry can stowage doors as well - just make the hinges out of stainless for the old style doors and you're onto a winner.

pux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 It does look nice but it's a shame the MOD won't go for it, as with Bowman (radio system) takes up to much room!!!! i think they are looking at larger vehicles and not land rover............ boo hoo!!!

Guest WALFY Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Pux Don't be so fast to say that. We had a LR manager come to us at work the other day and he was saying something completely different. So they still have plans to buy kit from LR. But he wouldn't elaborate to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if the British Forces keep up and buy Land Rover again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 The LR bloke was chatting to my boss about stuff while I was talking to the 3rd party contractor about our special to role 110 and overheard the run out date of 2012 or 2017. We all live in hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all live in hope. When i was out in Brecon a few weeks ago I saw all the staff using the ford engined 110 CSW and hardtops on the area. Seems a far better idea than all the white fleet they make us use and get stuck! all exactly the same as the few green 110s that are being sold by the likes of exmod. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If you come to the LWC on a Mon morning you'll see loads of new 110 Puma's being delivered for use by DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gneil Pipely Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 ah sorry that's not the refurb picture, that's a completely new 110 at the defence vehicle show in france somehwere i came across it looking for the refurb 110 Think you'll find that is at the 2007 DSEi show at the Excel exhibition centre. Land Rover were also exhibiting their 6-wheel, tray-backed Defender weapons carrier. Very nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Pinz also in the frame arent they for one of the contracts? Saw a nice MOD spec Puma a while back mind you that was at Gaydon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Twig Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 All they need to do is put a simplified (i.e. less electrics) version of the diesel V8 from the RR into the Defender. LR's dominance of the military market restored in one fell swoop! Sorted! Anyways, aint nowt wrong with the Supacats the army are increasingly using, they're more British for a start! ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
