    Spotted a yellow civvy FC in Maldon

    I spotted a very nice looking civy FC in Maldon yesterday.
    It was yellow with a white roof and a couple of big spotties on the front bumper.
    Was anyone here driving it?

    regards

    It belongs to 'Cooee' I think, although I think it was for sale or something - I didn't really pay attention to the conversation.

    It's actually a military FC (all of them are) and has been 'civilianised'.

    Unless it was a private import.

    I thought the 101 was never sold to civilians? ie: an import would still be ex mil!

    IIa and IIb FC's had a civvy market.

    Not sure about the 101's though.

    No civvy market on 101's at all. All ex-military.

    I am pretty sure Andrew has sold it now

    Was it a 101 or series 2 FC? If a yellow 101 most likely Cooee's old 101 but it did not have a white roof - had a black tilt.

    Where are the pics?

    Sorry - I should have been more specific.

    Correct, IIA / IIB FCs were not specifically for military contracts, whereas the 101 FC was.

    It was not a 101.
    It was a 109. (is that right?)
