SXF 79

SXF79</a

Sold Spring 06 by Witham Specialist Vehicles, Colsterworth, having been in store for decades. Still in Emergency Fire Service livery. It looks to have been in marvellous preserved condition, and a real find.

The catalogue details said:
Landrover Series 1 Stationwagon. Direct EFS. Very low mileage. Registration Number: SXF 79 Guide Price £8500

Not strictly speaking a Stationwagon, because the 107SW was a different beast. This is a truck cab with the rear tub covered by an export hard-top. Ultimate price, lucky buyer and further details unknown.

This is unusual for a Home Office Land-Rover in that it's a 107" wheelbase, whereas virtually all others were 88". It must surely be the oldest one to be released to the general public! Note the join between the truck-cab-type roof, and the rear hardtop.
