Black Military Land Rovers?

hi Chris,

I saw one today too, at Willetts near Grantham, it was kitted out with some very strange angled tubes (3 on each corner) pointing up & out. Spare mounted on the front horizontally, so it preceeded the bumber by a couple of feet or more, a 20 litre jerry can sat in a cutout in the O/S tub, just behind the drivers door. There seemed to be a lot of equipment inside, or at least the fittings for it. Looked like a FFR model in my limited experience. Also was a softtop I think.

Very curious, it was I think a semi gloss finish too... Bizarre..

Tezza, series 2a 'Olive'

That's a Pinkie, in it's orginal olive drab, and they've put a shine on it with diesel oil.

Sounds like ex SAS pink panthers.

prolly for servicing the black helicopters, of which, of course, there are none.

nothing to see here. Move along please.

Black Panthers then? ;-)

They are smoke dischargers.

Sounds like a Pink Panther that's been repainted.

Nah, wre not the Black Panthers active in the US a few years ago?

According to a mate of mine who wasn't flying on the non-existent black helicopters they didn't get any use in the US or elsewhere because they don't exist. However the fact he was seriously injured whilst not working with said non-helicopters probably means that something was going on. I also think that they weren't in Afghanistan last year IYSWIM.

No , Black Panthers are now opperational on Dartmoor.

How much surplus bullshit can someone bolt on to a Landrover to pass it off as something it never was?

"Sorry Sir, we can neither confirm or deny any history of this vehicle with the SAS, need to know and all that... Visa? That'll do nicely"

Still, expect to see it at Billing next year with it's proud new owner.

Now, there's and idea...

You'd not even need to say that. They said in the ad 'SAS Spec' - NOT that it was an SAS motor (which by the look of it is probably quite obvious).

Oh yes indeedy - on the EMLRA stand I wonder? ;-)

Mine is definatly going to end up as something it never was, but not anything it might not ever be, because that is the beuty of landies, customisable to suit your needs and purposes.

Presently I have the kitchen sink in the back of mine as part of my ongoing stealth camper conversion very handy if the SAS ever need to wash the dishes :)

I have a toilet in mine just in case they need a wee too ;-)
