We just got a Safir 6wd about a year ago (on eBay, from the UK) & shipped it down here to the Falklands; ours is no. 027, & was reg.d A75 AJM. It was one of 15 converted to cherrypickers, but has since been given a standard body & hardtop.

Here are some photos of my 6x4. The History of the vehicle is a little vague but I am currently trying to find out exactly. Basically it was a G reg 110 with a 3.5 litre v8 . I dont know if it went straight from the factory to a company called Reynolds Boughton and was then converted to 6x6 or if it was run as a 110 for a while. I have been in touch with them and they are looking in to it for me. They dont do conversions any more as far as I know. I have had the landrover for three years and have spent far to much money. Basically i have rebuilt it from scratch, It now has a 200tdi and new everything apart from the chassis.

I thought I would send you a pic of my 6x6 Defender, taken in Morocco in september 2008. It was built on a Designa chassis and features a 4.6 v8 engine(Petrol is cheap in Guernsey)! Foley 6x6 conversion, ARB locking diffs on all axles, Ashcroft underdrive, QT suspension, including rose jointed A balls, rose jointed radius arms, X eng Springs, and a long list of other items, including 2 alternators, electric fans, and communication gear for its role as a support unit for recovery and volunteer services here in the Channel Islands.

I am going to change the body style to full expedition over the winter (2009-2010) so it will be completely different for next year's Billing show. It weighs 3.2 tonnes all up, and will do well over the speed limit in the UK, let alone our 35mph one in Guernsey!!
