It actually belongs to my Dad's mate. He uses it all year round! It was definitely an IoW car, I'm fairly sure Les, the owner bought it from the original family Dick Longbridge, AnnoyingPentium and skoda_fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightnider Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 This is a house on my dog walk, looks quite normal from the outside. But according to the equivalent of the DVLA, this is a serious Citroën licker.

Must be quite rare now but I guess they weren’t made in the same numbers as Cortinas in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number plate lamp does indeed look a bit millitary spec. I find airfield vehicles oddly interesting. Possibly because they're often a bit unusual and kept going for a longer than normal life. It's a fair bet the Land Rover is ex-RAF. The matching R reg suggests the TACR2 (Truck, Aircraft Crash Rescue 2) and the Land Rover were both given civil plates when they were acquired from military surplus around the end of 1977. The lack of MOT history suggests they've stayed offroad (/on an airfield) since. TACRs were airfield emergency vehicles used by the RAF and Royal Navy. TACR1s were based on an uprated series II or III chassis. TACR2s were based on the Carmichael Commando 6 wheeled chassis http://www.range-rover-classic.com/Home/land-rover-brochures/range-rover-specials/carmichael-ltd---uk GEC were at Rochester in some form or other from 1967 to 1998 (https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/heritage/Rochester). The GEC logo on the LandRover could be due to GEC taking on the management of the airfield at the start of 1979 (https://rochesterairport.co.uk/about/history/).

GEC at Chelmsford had a similar Land Rover fire engine but I vaguely recall it had a trailer with the pump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for collecting all this information together and sharing it. I've lived around here for 40 plus years and have shamefully never taken much interest in the heritage that's right on my doorstep. goosey and mintwth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
