Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
I've seen similar mountings on other land rovers and on the UAZ, so hard to say. Although I've seen winches for sale I've never seen the mounts.

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
By this time I dont think SEB were fabbing them up, the kit was bought in. The winch I think is a Ramsey DC-200 same as used on the UAZ, presumably electric drive. Ladder rack I think was ally.

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
Yes it is. Sadly way out of my current budget. Lovely truck though. Issue with these is where would you get the roof rack, winch and bumper from?

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
This is LDP498W recovered from the river.
It was refurbished and put back to work.

Sadly I know nothing about it beyond what you see in the photos.Geoff wrote:Sadly, 'survived' is a relative term - can you tell us anything more about its current miserable circumstances?

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
Further, I found this photo recently. http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab317/DJW2009uk/leccy/s1v8_zps2suopvob.jpg And found at least one of these beasts has survived. http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab317/DJW2009uk/leccy/10906380_10152947578961154_454607623184297301_n_zpsbcpywckh.jpg http://i87...

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
I am told that the vehicle in the river is actually LDP498W as shown in the initial post, I have some more photos on-way to me.

Stage 1 V8 6x6 Cherrypicker
Now here we have something special, a genuine ex-SEB Stage 1 V8 cherrypicker. Surely if any of them ought to be preserved/restored it would be this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Cherry-Picker-1984-6x6-3-6L-V8-Blue-/251578122909?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a9339829d http://onetonl...

Re: 3 tonne station wagon
What colour is it? if pale green it could well be an ex SEB one (see my recent posts on that subject) which may well have had a higher gross weight, they were also converted to USW spec.

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
I managed to find a couple of photos of one of the V8 utility wagons in service, although I have no idea as to the identity or fate of it, the front looks quite smashed in. http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab317/DJW2009uk/leccy/13668717955_c67ff39c78_o_zpsa8247dc5.jpg http://i875.photobucket.com/a...

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
Interesting, however UC is a London plate and that was built white by the looks of it, probably ex-Police.

Re: Diecast or model Stage 1
I think Verem or Solido did a V8 Fire engine but that is only one I ever saw, sold for silly money on ebay last time I saw one and was about 1:43 scale.

Re: Southern Electric Stage 1 V8s
Yes I have seen that on ebay a couple of times, doesn't seem to sell. No evidence it is ex-SEB though, I understand the hardtop sides were fitted by a previous owner. Very nice motor all the same.
