No, I'm not sure of the year, and it probably was 1987 - I should have said "for the bicentenary year in 1988"!

Again, old timers disease is showing, but I seem to recall that JRA were providing some form of sponsorship for the Bicentennial, combined with showing off the Land Rovers. :twobeers:Quote:

Mick Garner (lives near Brisbane) owned an army prototype/trials 110 for a while. I recall it was a 1983 model with a non-galvanised chassis and 4BD1.
This is a very interesting discussion.
Ok
I have checked my VIN and it reads:-
SALLDHAV1BA223024*1184
I'm guessing it's Nov84?
Enter your full chassis number here Clifton Scientific Text Services, the Netherlands & it should tell you. ;)Quote:

The manufacturing date says it's an early model but not anything specific to month and year.
From what I remember the first to come out was the 110, released in 1983 in the UK.. From memory engine options were a 5 bearing 2.285 petrol, and a restricted 3.5 V8 carb petrol. The V8 was coupled to the LT95 4 speed. But... In relation to original question, there were several Land Rover built coil sprung Land Rovers floating around quite a while before that.. They were mostly based on molested Stage 1's and looked like this....
Then there's this.. A 'T' reg 100" military prototype. The 'T' puts it at 1978....
