Forward Control :?:

Only if you sit on the bonnet with a pair of reigns strung down to the steering arms.

Why are you looking for a new rangie?

[RichardK]

That's the most unusual forward control I've seen, I think the person who has described it should have left "Forward Control" out of the description

Forward Controls do not have a bonnet area.

hmm, false advertising really gets the people in style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[disco95]

You guys only saw the obvious faults with the ad.
Wouldn't a 1970 be a series III? Two door? Looks to me like a four door.
Also appears to be the right pic, If you look carefully at the number plate you can see it looks to match the description.

[Ace]

It is a forward control. the steering wheel is forward, and the front wheels steer, therefore all the controlling items are forward. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Seriously though, you would have thought someone who owns a series landy would at least have some knowledge of landies. Obviously not. Matt

[LandyAndy]

Perhaps the gearbox is shot and dosnt work in reverse,hence you can only control it going forwards OR the steering only works going forwards style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Was just reading the latest copy of LROI, well the latest we can get here anyway. Apparently they were only in production from 1975-1978. Not very long, i didnt know that. Matt

[DiscoTDI]

there were quite a few made

Is that it, how many of those made it to Australia. Matt

[PeteH]

Heres a 101 we spotted in old south wales last year,i think you will agree it looks nowt like the one in the link style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif

[Ace]

You are right pete, it looks nothing like the one in the link, maybe the one in the link was a limited edition run. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

With all these new vehicles being brought out by land rover how good would a new 101 be? It could rival the OKA as a tour vehicle. Now that would be good, alot of poeple are looking at those OKA's on the s/h market to kit out as touring/camper vehicles. Matt

Surely that cant be world wide. Mind you there are very few around and you dont see them that often. Matt

Positive affirmation is a wonderfull thing,,
check out the windscreen in front of the passenger,,

Is that to convince his passenger :?: style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

or maybe himself as well :wink:

Perhaps his passenger is Medic455 and he's just stepped out of a Poo-trol.

Now there seems to be some confustion here, land rover built 3 FC land rovers.

The series 2A FC, on a 109 wheelbase. Civilian model, as picured in the link I posted.
The series 2B FC, on a 110 wheelbase. Civilian model, very similar to the one abovel

the 101 which is what we have a picture of above which was built soley for the military.

So Feeny, just for the record ?

All Forward Controls have that body shape ( or very similar) ?????

[Ace]

Land Rover's first forward control was based on the Series IIA's 109 inch chassis and was launched in 1962 in response to customers' demand for a greater pay load. But it was desperatelty underpowered untill 1966, when a 2.6lt 6 cylinder petrol engine replaced the 2.25 original. This necessitated lenghthening the chassis an inch and the revised model was called the Series IIB. It sold in small numbers untill it was discontinued in 1973. By then, a new foward control was in the pipeline, utilising the 3.5Lt V8 installed in the range rover. But this one was aimed squarely at the military market and would be known as the 101 Forward Control. Production began in 1975 and ended in 1978.


There is my little history lesson for the day. Matt

All of the FC vehicles looked pretty similar, the military 101 looked a little different. for the record, this is a civilian Series 2b on the left, and FC 2a on the right

I think you will find that only a small handfull were brought to Australia for evaluation by the Australian Army (nothing much came of it) I gess that Rocket or Dinty could give you the exact details....... :wink:

[DiscoTDI]

So where is land rover god dinty 8)

[Phoenix]

Actually a batch of 101's were brought here by british aerospace for gun tractors for the rapier missle at woomera. i've also seen some that have been imported later as well.

I think BAe brought in about 20.

[DiscoTDI]

so where are they, I want one :cry:

[Ace]

Yeah, where are they, and how much are they going for in reasonable nick in Oz. Matt

[Phoenix]

there was an advert for one in unique cars a while back for a 101 for about $18k I think, not running. Haven't seen a running one for sale for a while.

Joe mentioned something to me about a cuvulian FC in a padock near his place once though.

[Ace]

Owning one is just a dream. Matt

[Dinty]

G'day All, I've been very busy as usual a mate of mine has one of the fabled 101's from Woomera i think from memory there were 25 101's in all, his sits forlornly in a shed up near Tamworth hasn't turned a wheel in about 6 years H2o pump shot, tilt rotted off it, as it was left outside in the weather (tilt/tarp was NOS when fitted) also same person has a 130 with about 150 kilometers on the clock (thats 150 not 150,000) paid 6k for it it's in bits and will never turn a wheel either but the same boy will not sell em crazy I reckon cheers Dennis

Thats proabably not as silly as it sounds Disco. They are trying to reduce the 70% figure of all land rovers made still being on the road. Matt

This pix of the 101 was taken at Warwick Lords place one very wet Saturday morning about 4 years ago it absloutley P****D down rain and to add to the muck and mire add approx 1,000 feet tramping in it that 101 I'm almost certain now lives up around Scone in the Upper Hunter valley about 65 miles from Cessnock, he swapped a GMC 6x6 truck for it the GMC is now in the AWM Canberra, and to answer the question re my mates 101 he has a daily driver a 1985 Range Rover but he will not sell his other vehicles cheers Dennis
