Early Range Rover had a similar idea, except it was on a hinge and you had to flip it down manually.

Would be useful today

As did the early Mini saloons!! You could drive with the boot lid open and the number plate would drop down

Yes, Ive seen the flip-down plate set up...just never the twin-plate set up

Nice. I was tempted to take one of my classic 4x4 out aswell but the salt would destroy them.

Glasnevin. I thought it was broken down (open bonnet) but it had moved later on;

Nope. Just a normal run of the mill oven!

I see the mark of the Stonecutters on the bumper also, attach the stone of victory!

I hope not, it should be from a Belling or New World, best of British and all that.

I'm sure I read an article ages ago where it was standard practice for the British Army to use the grill...as a grill in the field (not sure if it was part of the spec issued by the BA to LR)

and to keep with the photos, here a couple of youngtimers in Greystones at the weekend.

The S124 used to be mine and sold twice since I sold it! It was lovely when I owned it!

I have to say it looked remarkably clean in the flesh - 7 seater too.

I thought that too (4-doors were only launched in '81), but it could well be a legit body swap - chassis and body should fit without mods, and the early bodies did corrode badly.

However... :pac:

TrailerBob

Very few legit body swaps knocking around... but there's plenty of 'engineers reports'.. especially the Disco

Silvera

Nice Range Rover...may well be legit body swop.
Pity about the shabby reg plate!

Nekarsulm

Am I missing something, or does the import plate not signify that the "'re shell " was most likely done in the UK?
Far more chance of it being properly done there then here, to be honest.

SmartinMartin

It's quite possible the donor vehicle was imported. Its an older import with that low number.

Greystones over the weekend - motorcheck has this down as a '73 Range Rover (it's a Disco in real life...)

My daughter spotted this in Carrickmines last weekend and sent me on the photo.

Pic quality is a bit poor. When I got home I realised there was dust on the phone lens.
