The front mounted Godiva lightweight 500 IGPM pump may have meant that this was one of relatively few three axle Range Rover conversions which did not end up with the extra trailing axle seriously overloaded.

Fitting a dead axle also reduced weight and did not do much to affect traction compared to the alternative of an additional driven axle.

Was the Ford a CFE body? The Carmichael stable mate did not feature the small extra side window - a much needed feature on these dingy crew cabs!

Ed: Yes!

Looks like it’s the L4R we had at Barkers Lane, Bedford. Only seemed to go to RTAs back then, can’t remember it going to anything else.
It sat next to the HP which was always taken off the run due to a reoccurring fault.
