I dont know if this is true of not, but this fella who gets in my local came over and asked about the LWT (i was outside the pub on my phone lent against the truck) Any way, we get chatiing, and it turns out he was in the army and used to run around in LWT's ect.
So i asked him if he new any thing about paint jobs? And he said yeah, what do you want to know?
So i tell him that this truck was once painted all black, and then asked him if he knew any other landies in the army that were painted all black.
He said, and i quote....The Landrovers that were painted black were for the SAS. He then asked if i had put the hood on? I said no, why? He then went on to tell me that the 88" trucks that the SAS used all had truck cabs on them.
Well frick a duck. When i picked up the truck, it allso came with a spare truck cab.
The plot thickens.
Oh and he allso said that the black paint was some sort of infra red reflective paint.
What ever thats ?
Now he could of been on a megga wind up. I dont know?
