Do you plan on converting it to 4 wheel drive? Or keep the rarity of 2 wheel drive in a rover.

stolenheron · 03-22-2008, 07:25 AM

holy shit, i didn't even realize it was a 4x2. wtf? if you're gonna restore it, keep it 2wd. if you're gonna play with it, make it 4x4

it is going to be a driver/play thing/toy

I have the stuff to convert it to 4x4

stolenheron · 03-22-2008, 12:44 PM

sweet. document all the 4x2 stuff and keep any take off parts. who knows, maybe down the road it may be worth more in 2wd than 4.

DONT YOU DARE CHANGE IT TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE.......

Here are some pics of my friends one and info as to how rare these beaties are.......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the rare little beastie. Two wheel drive, no front diff or prop. No high, low gears. LHD, 24v electrics. Served with the Belgian army.
Absolutely crap off road, so why has it got a great big bash plate under the gearbox? I have had it stuck in 3" deep wheel ruts at a Series III meeting at Eastnor and had to get towed out. Also got stuck in 2" of snoe outside the local and had to be pushed out by the Butcher and his family I had no grip at all on Military Bargrip tyres.
The tilt is not canvas but a vinyl type material.
Dunsfold got rid of it because they ended up with 2 of the things.
They passed it on to LRW as a competition prize and guess which prat won it.
John Carroll has since bought me a pint by way of apology for lumbering me with it.

This is an insignia of the 3rd regiment of engineers (Belgian) I found in the engine compartment.
