Yes there is a lovely one on here. I forgot who did it. From memory it even used the Land Rover roof as the "lid" - looked brill.

Someone help here - who was that?

It was at Cooma and was towed by a matching metallic grey 110. It belongs to someone on this forum.

Here we are (found on the GCLRO site):

Yes I think your right Paul - it is in his signature.

I sent him a PM - hopefully should turn up soon

Yes guy's that grey one is mine. Here are some pics and a storyline of the build process. Unfortunately I still haven't got around to the canvas bit yet

OMFG - how good is that!!

That's exactly what I envisaged

If you're ever selling, I've got first dibs. In the meantime, I'll see how I go building my own. It won't need the roof, as I plan to put a camper top on it.

Well done mate.

I just bought a LWB (109) rear body off a Series w/out the sides and roof, I also purchased a SWB Series roof which is a perfect lengthwise fit, I thought about getting the LWB roof and cutting it down, no need, the SWB roof fits perfectly. It is all going on my W/Shop trailer chassis, I will extend the sides up about 450mm and hinge the roof from the front with canvas sides and back, I need it to be high enough (at the rear) to be able to stand, the double bed will be contained in the roof section so as I can use the available space like a caravan and when I want to sleep I just drop the bed down and there's the bed. Paid $275 for the body and the roof (which came with sides and rear swing up door), Regards Frank.
