They just look like regular LSEs. I did wonder if they might have been put on a 110 chassis to handle the extra weight of the armour, but I don't think the 110 chassis is any stronger? Plus if the article is correct they weren't originally armoured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 110 has deeper main rails than range rover. LSE was 108 inch wb same as the laster P38 2nd generation range rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if the article is correct they weren't originally armoured. They definitely did a HD 110 chassis as we saw a couple in build on the factory tour. It had extra plating top and bottom from memory. The hamburger one looks longer behind the rear wheel the battenburg not so much. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbeaumont Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Rear doors on the police ones are different to both the standard and LSE. Hard to say without taking a tape measure to them, but they look like they're same length as standard coming to a wheel arch in LSE position (or maybe two inches further back - I for one aren't going to claim I could tell the difference from photos). So definitely not standard LSE shells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Monteverdi built a four door back in the days of two door RRC production, the rear wings look 2 door-esque in the pics of this. It's probably an SVE built variant given the era? Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post L19MUD Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 After 2.5 painful years it looks like we might actually move house tomorrow....my searching for a backhoe loader has therefore kicked up a notch. I thought this might interest on here (and it is a 4x4 as per the thread title!!) It is a Hydrema 806, very rare here as they were about three times the price of a 3cx when new. I have only ever seen them for sale in Army drab over here and this is the first one I have seen not for sale at Withams. Lots of Interesting features though - Back arm pivots 280 degrees not the usual 180 as it can go around the cab corners - Quick hitch 4 in one front bucket and pallet tines - Pivot steer - Perkins engine and ZF axles https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276199084564 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The swing out stabilisers might prove to be a pain for building related hoe work and the rear hoe itself looks short for the size? The Case with 4 in 1 front and extending rear hoe arm is pretty good all round , 4x4 too. I look after a Hydrema forestry forwarder converted from a 10t dump truck , they seem a tough platform and also appear as mine clearing machines.

Steve Steve, where is your sense of adventure 🙂 Stabilisers don't worry me too much as have the Hitachi mini digger for tighter work. Rear arm is a fair point as there is no extender like you would get on a Case/JCB. I would actually much prefer a Case 580/New Holland equivalent over a JCB 3cx. I have spent many many hours on an early 2000's Case 580 Super LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I can't make up my mind if I like this or not. I definitely don't hate it and it is kinda cool. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116004289328?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=voHauMMsROu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rj9sNdGlTqa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I didn't realise you could have any discussion about something that looks like that, if course it is cool, and absolutely would daily. Has quite the 100" tomcat feel to it, with a smattering of ratrod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Looks good from afar but far from good... so much bodgery holding that together. Good concept but everything needs finishing / re-doing properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
