It looks as though the owner has made a good job of creating what he wanted it to look/be like, but its not for me

I dont dislike it,i just wouldnt buy it.

Rip the spats,roofrack/rollbar, jerry cans and spare off the front....

stick some 900 michelins on it and i would sell a kidney.

Like the twin headlights, seen it done a few times, canvas looks tidy, not too keen on the rest of it though.

Not my cup of tea. What engine has it got?

I was talking to a friend a while ago about 101s. 'Yeah', he says, 'I'd like one - put a Tdi in it and some coiler axles with lockers, blah blah'. What's the point?? Just buy a old Unimog.

Seems to work, you can fit a macnamara in the front too though.

I've never been in this part of the forum before.

I met this guy at a show once (coming from Northern Ireland and all that, it's hardly surprising!!)
I couldn't believe it when I saw it, it was absolutely grotesque!!!!]

I decided to go and find out his story, as he was sat with another bloke with his bush hat full of pin badges and his thermos out, and looked a bit bored.

Alongside side this monstrosity was a lovely, standard green 101 on military rims and tyres with army-surplus-bought camo net over the top, it was a bit of a contradiction in terms seeing the two side by side.

It turns out the bush-hatted man owns both. He was a strange chap, but when he understood I knew what I was talking about, was pleasant enough to talk to for 5 minutes. This contraption has cream leather interior and more chequerplate that QT's fabrication department - it is gayer than homosexual transvestite!

He uses it as a people carrier for his business, and the normall one is his toy.
He said he had a Series 1, along with a vast collection of 1950s/60s cars.

It's a horrible horrible destruction of a poor helpless 101! But he lives near my parents, if anyone wants a post code to give him a lesson in suitable leafer practices it could be arranged.

Its hideous in my opinion!

As for cooling, the intercept trucks had their spares mounted in exactly the same place and cooling was never a problem.

Although not as foul as the bling blue 101 that was doing the rounds a few years ago.

I have to admit to liking the twin headlights, and I like the idea of a roof rack you can live on, it just doesn't seem right to me, something about it just doesn't fit together properly, the matching painted spades really are uncalled for

Looks like playmobil made it, it was made for war, I doubt you could even get sailors to drive around in it let alone squadies.Most military vehicles should be left dressed in their comats.
