    Tow bar arrangement on Desert Patrol Vehicle (SAS) 110 Land Rover.

    I have a 110 HCPU that I wish to fit a NATO hitch to. This will require some sort of spacer bracket to clear the body. (I don't wish to use a drop plate)

    It occurred to me that the SAS 110 Desert Patrol Vehicles were based on a 110 HCPU and would have had to have a similar arrangement. Does anyone have a photo illustrating this?

    Only one I can find is of this replica that someone has built, blurry and doesn't show any detail even if it's right


    Note that these are different to an ordinary 110 WMIK before we get deluged with WMIK pictures.

    Cheers!

    Buy one of the specialist Land Rover mags, and look for the adverts for the parts or vehicle suppliers. If your vehicle is army surplus, it should have the holes in the body/chassis where the NATO hitch was fitted to.

    There should be a Land Rover Forum, have you tried asking on there also.

    Try someone like M and M Land Rover parts based in North Wales.

    It is worth buying one or other of the Specialist Land Rover mags for all the Parts suppliers adverts.

    That LR is just the ticket for popping down to Morrisons at Hereford to buy a couple of extra pints of milk.

    It would be a brave traffic Warden who stuck a parking ticket on the windscreen.. Come to think of it, it hasnt got a windscreen, has it?

    no it hasn't apprantly that foils traffic wardens brains as told to me by a cavalry officer the warden was still trying to figure how to attach the ticket when his cvrt drove off
    admittidly in the wrong direction but you can't have everything
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?

    Do military vehicles ever got clocked by speed cameras or traffic light cameras, or the New Bus Lane Cameras? Do the Military authorities pass on the name of the driver to plod?

    Being gay is not an issue in the modern world. Many politicians and pop stars are homosexual. Stop beating yourself up gay boy.

    What the fuck is your problem with a drop-plate you mincing fucking faggot? Scared you will chip a nail?

    Based on. That means the mental ones tore apart a perfectly good HUPU and mounted big bangy things on it then some camo nets then tore about the place laughing like loons blowing the shit out of anything that would stay still long enough.

    What the fuck do you imagine the SAS planned to tow around whilst they were blowing the shit out of everything?

    A caravan?

    Weld a drop-plate on the back end. Weld a ball-pin hitch onto that. Leave the mental stuff to the mental ones.

    If you can find a way to make the fucking heater work on a 110 HCPU, PM me, yah?

    Maybe they wanted a sankey trailer

    to hold all their various face paints. So they can change their appearance depending on which theatre they are in. swarthy for The Empire. rather pasty for the royal court.
