That's great Michelle, see you out on the road one day.

I hate to disagree with Dave, but the 'One Ton' was a specific model. It was never sold in Australia, and I have seen no convincing evidence that any were/are ever in Australia.

It had the basic chassis of the Australian military 109 (the design came from Australia) with originally ENV axles, constant mesh low range in the transfer case, lower geared steering box, 9.00x16 tyres and various other minor differences. Most (all?) were six cylinder. It was sold only as ute and cab/chassis. Many of its features were used in the 2B FC.

Not to be confused with conventional 109s uprated to one tonne load.

happy to be wrong, but if its TAC for over 1000kg load its a 1 ton vehicle, just doesnt get teh fancy badge, if someones trying to fit the beefed up shocks and springs from one of those to a stock 88 or 109 you can be in for an interesting time, but its doable.

It might be a 1 ton vehicle, but that does not make it a One Ton Landrover. As I said above, the One Ton was never in Australia, so it is likely that parts specific to the One Ton imported from the UK are unlikely to fit an Australian vehicle (I don't know for sure, but I suspect the shocks though will fit an Australian military one). And it was not just a badge - I'm not even sure that they had a badge, since they were instantly identifiable by the 900x16 tyres and higher suspension.
