1977 70s seventies yellow British Army Land Rover 101 Truck canvas, heavy-duty four-wheel drive en-route to Capesthorne Hall classic May car show, Cheshire, UK
The Land-Rover Forward Control 101 was built for a British Army requirement for an air-transportable heavy duty four wheel drive. The standard 101 is a soft-top although radio vans and ambulances came later. The radio vehicles had 24-volt electrical systems. Many 101s were built in left hand drive for British commitments to NATO in Europe and elsewhere. The 101 was produced between 1975 and 1978 although many vehicles were stored for long periods and others were refurbished at later dates. The Land-Rover 101 uses the alloy V8 and LT95 transmission from the Range Rover. This gives a 4-speed gearbox × 2-speed transfer case, and full-time 4WD. Suspension is by leaf springs - slightly unusual in having just two large leaves at each corner. Axles are longer than in "series" Land-Rovers, with 2× Salisbury differentials, and welded, non-removable steering swivel housings
