Vehicle Description: As seen in Total Off Road's 2010 year book but now with oversized wheel arches, full side bars, rear windows removed and  metal lift up sides fitted, large alternator (bmw)  and other small touches.

Vehicle Story: We have had the vehicle from nearly new in 1994. It has always been used, whether for work or school runs (full of our children and their friends). we go abroad with it off-roading, and is used for our main holidays and weekends away. So, we have to make sure it is road legal as well as up to the job.

LAND ROVER SERIES 2a HYBRID

Vehicle Description: This is a Land Rover Series 2a that I've built on a Range Rover classic chassis and axles. It has a set of 30" tall cleaver pattern tyres on custom offsett steel wheels with 10 spline half shafts and 4.7:1 ratio diffs, the rear is welded until I fit a diff lock. The suspension is standard Range Rover except for +3 shocks allround and front springs on the rear giving about 3ft of articulation overall. The chassis is a Range Rover chassis shortened to 86" wheelbase. The rollcage is welded directly to the chassis through spreader plates, from that all the bodywork is built up with the rear trayback and half challeng style front end. The engine and gearbox are fairly standard 2.25 petrol engine running on LPG with a series1/2 hybrid gearbox and t box. It has a rear mounted 8 ton ramsey winch and 2 recovery points at both ends.

Vehicle Story: The Land Rover was bought for me by my dad when I was about 8 as a series 2a rolling chassis. I never used it as a competition vehicle until I turned 11, after the first 6 events it was falling apart, so we decided on a full rebuild using coil spring suspension and rangerover axles.
