This Land Rover 101 Forward Control is described as being in ‘exceptional condition’ and we’re not going to argue with that!
From the seller: “This superb example of a 101” GS was manufactured on 6th January 1976 and given the registration 63FL62 at the MOD vehicle depot Ashchurch on 13th January 1976. Some markings of the Royal Marines have previously been found under the paint, however the MOD have never released any information to the army museum at Beverley and it’s history record remains classified.
It was stood down from active service in 1992 and purchased via MOD auction in 1998 by the previous owner to myself. Unfortunately the previous long term owner passed away and it was placed into storage for a couple of years.
When it was taken out of storage just over a year ago I had Daryll Burdfield (ex long term Dunsfold Collection mechanic) go right through it. Daryll knows these vehicles inside out and has looked after my other 101” for many years. He said it’s one of the best he’s seen in a long time. It has also previously won several awards at military shows around the UK.”
