Had a LWB Diesel 1Ton in the early 90's for tree work. It would go any where towing a chipper, you could fill it with logs and it would not drop an inch. Cold, Loud, Clamped seats and a bugger to start in the winter. Miss it and I have a 101 Forward Control for work. Cheers
Hi, is yours the dark green one converted to diesel by Dunsfold in the 90s? Obviously from the factory they were all 2.6 petrols but not ideal for private use due to the thirst. Any idea what happened to it?
@@onetonlandrover I bought it from a yard in Aston and it had been round the block so who knows what it started out as. Reg was PRB 248E. Blue Panels. White hard top with a blue door. Sold on for £1200 and bought a fully restored K reg Series 3 2.25 diesel station wagon for £2000 Hard to believe now. The 101 keeps me busy though. Cheers
@@onetonlandrover i have a question, originals 1 Ton was only made in 109 pickup or 109 hardtop bodies, right?? Not on SW or 88 wheelbase bodies, right?? 😁
I've been looking for an easier off road track to take my 10 year old as he so badly wants to go !! We have been to Salisbury Plain but not managed to find this particular track ? Which village do I head for please?? 🙏
Been a while since this video but I think we were mainly down south on Salisbury plain not near any particular village. If your looking for an easy route with nice views you could try Market Lavington to Upavon on the Salisbury plain Northern Transit Route.
@@onetonlandrover When our series 1 hybrid is ready and the world is back to normal we are planning to drive Sweden-UK. I've been over a few times but never by car.
@@dennissalumbides-9064 They can fit a standard vehicle, but you will find the tyres will rub the bodywork. You need to make quite extensive modification to the chassis suspension mounts, as well as fit longer swing arms. The steering will also be *very* heavy without the special steering box. Gearing will also be quite tall, especially on a working vehicle. The 1 Ton of course had all this from the factory. Considering the scarcity and expense of 900x16 tyres I really wouldn't bother, as the disadvantages very much outweigh any advantages.
Depends on your meaning of fast, l have been in a few Series Land Rovers that were quite quick, mostly V8 or V6 but one had a 2.8 litre version of the 2.25 petrol.

@@willtricks9432 E plate would be too early for a 1 Ton, blue and white - possibly ex-EMEB and I think they did run diesels.
@@willtricks9432 Those prices wouldn't get you a resto project these days would they? Crazy how prices have gone in recent years.
@@onetonlandrover I live up hill from the local scrappy and have rolled down and weighed in cars that today would get a good price. Cheers
Fabulous
Pomp and Circumstance, absolutely!
I love a bit of classical 👌

@@alfredodini5315 That's correct.
@@onetonlandrover Thanks
How do I see the deference between a 1 ton and non 1 ton?
Or how do I see if I have a 1 ton?
Thanks

CN I ask where you got your Camac nato tyres? And are they 7.50 or 7.00?
Bought online or via friends over the years. They are 9.00x16.

Looks like you had alot of fun in the mud
Thankfully it wasn't *too* muddy, just enough to keep it interesting without causing damage. I don't think I'd want to try it in winter.
@@onetonlandrover I'm not going hardcore offroad with ours when it's ready. So that little pit looks perfect. 😉
@@slowshop Come over for a spin sometime 👍

What size tires is the green land rover running?
Both are on 900x16s.
@@onetonlandrover , is there any modification done to install a 900x16s tires? Tyvm.

@@onetonlandrover thank you so much for the information.👍
I recognise some of those treelines from my time in the forces. SPTA.....urgh....
Not a good memory for you then?
16 m turning circle haha.
Land Rovers don't move that fast !!! I should know,I own 2 series Land Rovers.
You do understand it's a timelapse, right?
