Four LRPV's are visible in this photo, with t heregistration plates
visible on the first two All appear to be of the same configuration
with PSP brackets on the Brush bar, winches and ROPS. The first 2 have
tool brackets on the wings, the 2nd two do not (infering that they are
converted FFT's where the tools are behind the front seats).
An interesting mix of tyres is also fitted, not a bartread in sight.

Another view of a frther four vehicles. In this case with some subtle
variations to configuration, and camouflage colours and pattern. The
heavy dity steering protector is clearly visible as well. the right
hand vehicle also appears to have had it's Brush Bar pushed back by
an impact of some sort.
The second vehicle from the left appears to be of an earlier configuration
as the colours and colour scheme is different, and the protective screen
for the occupants behind the front wheel is also absent.

This vehicle is unusual because it has cut rear wheel arches, and rounded
front ones. Perhaps as a result of repair to accident damage.
The storage box from between the seats is clearly visible as teh seat
bases are missing.

The same vehicle as above showing the brackets for PSP across the bonnet
and Bush Bar, and no tool brackets on the top of the wings.
Just visible in the photo is the hole for a heater bower as found on
the later series 3. This seems to indicate that a series 3 panels were
used to replace the square cut ones when no more were available.

This shows the protective guard for the occupants to good effect, as
well as the filler neck for the large fuel tank that was situated behind
the bulkhead in the tub.
The fold down spare wheel carrier can also be seen clearly.
|
|
as well as showing the rust from being out in the open,
this is a good detail photo of the swivel arm for the machine gun mount
on the passanger side of the vehicle, and the somewhat ad hock construction
of some of the modifications to the vehicle. |

This dashboard photo shows a black substance around the extra instrumentation
in the LRPV, and appears in a couple of these photos. what it is, however,
is a mystery.
The bracket below the windscreenis to mount a sun compass.
|
|
The rear storage boxes as well as the special tailgate and motorbike
mount can be seen well in this photo.
The unit plate holders have also been canabalised presumedly for another
vehicle, showing the original olive drab paint under the camouflage.

Another view of a motorbike mount, and tailgate.

This is an unusual unit. It does appear to be a LRPV, however much
of it's equipment has been stripped off, and it wears a very different
camouflage scheme, perhaps for operations in a different area?
Also of not, the rifle box that was fitted to earlier configuration
LRPV's, as well as a jerry can holder beside the seat box. No RPOS is
present either. Perhaps this one was damaged and used as a source of
spare parts?
