Attributes
About
1989, originally built by Land Rover Quadtec as a mobile workshop at Gatwick Airport. Bought from Cornwall in 2016 & subject to a major overhaul. Original chassis in really very good condition, front cross member re-built but otherwise completely un-welded; 2 gallons of Waxoil applied.
Fitted a 2.8-litre TGV (military spec 300Tdi) engine, 135bhp, with a new up-rated turbo. 270 ft-lb torque, to TD5 Discovery spec. R380 G/Transfer box.
HD clutch. All brake/suspension components replaced as required, mostly genuine L.R (NOT Britpart!). Bulkhead absolutely solid.
New OEM doors with tinted, electric windows. Tinted heated screen. New genuine L.R XS heated (not connected) half leather seats on modified mountings for more elbow room.
Etc., Etc. The TGV engine with Disco gearing + 7.50 tyres give high gearing for relaxed motorway cruising – 75mph = 2600 rpm & 25mpg. A 2,500-mile trip around Ireland gave 29mpg overall.
First photo's in Isle of Man. Solid, simple, reliable, just what you want in this over-complicated world in which we now have to live! The Quadtec body is 8' l x 6' w x 5' h, with a lift-up roof section giving 6' height.
Full width/height top-hinged tailgate, could have drop-down sides for increased room? 6' x 4' pull-out (5 seconds) seating to bed. 2 burner + grill + sink/drainer.
Full height rear cupboard, upper part contains bedding, lower has Porterpotty emergency loo. Electrolux gas/12v fridge. Gas storage compartment on nearside, 1 x 6kg + 1 x 3kg propane bottles.
Manual switch-over split charge (I don't like electronics!). 240v socket for hook-up. Avtec TV + Visionplus aerial.
Extra instruments, rear camera/LED down lamp etc., etc. Comes with very detailed restoration/conversion info/invoices + quantity of spares. Sadly now for sale due to changed circumstances, don't know how to value it, so pitched at offers around £25k, doesn't seem expensive when looking at converted ambulances for instance!.
