Forward control Land Rover . https://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p250187522/h256d7588#h256d7588 VVP or YVP, Birmingham plate, maybe some sort of factory kite flyer? -- Last edit: 2018-10-12 18:01:53 |

Strange , looks very like the fire engines which were converted to FC from normal Series Land Rovers by the fire engine builders. Matchbox sold the most -- Last edit: 2018-10-12 19:52:21 |

Maybe it’s a fire engine converted into an estate car. My L-R reference book shows nothing like it, the 101 inch has a different front end treatment. A matchbox fire engine seems somehow appropriate. -- Last edit: 2018-10-12 19:38:54 |

Interesting---Carmichael did the conversions to forward control mainly for their fire engine bodies BUT they also supplied a few for civilian use as 14 seat ! Station Wagons and this is one of them , very rare indeed. Designation was Carmichael FT/6 See article and photos here at bottom of page . https://thesteamboatingforum.net/landrover/carmichaelft6.htm -- Last edit: 2018-10-12 20:00:18 |

Dr Frankenstein would have been proud of that creation. Linked picture looks as if same plate - if YVP 363, = Birmingham (Goods), July-Aug 1959. |

Shame we can't see more of this mongrel. It's the 'front' doors in the middle that let it down ! -- Last edit: 2018-10-13 07:59:37 |
