John, looks like ex-Military vehicle(Army maybe).Do you
have reg/or any other information on this Landrover???.

This type of vehicle was used by The Army Fire Service, the first type was known as a firefly, it was withdrawn early as it proved to be unstable on road surfaces.We (AFS Donnington) had the modified version 24FK56.

Looks in great shape, is it still in regular use? If not does anybody have an idea where it is now.

If it was unstable on road surfaces, I wonder how well it did off-road? Generally, off-roading is a much bigger stability challenge!

To my eyes, it looks as if the wheels and tires may have been upgraded. Wider tires would help, but possibly not enough...
