Fully agree (FC = Forward Control, FWIW)

It is the second: /vehicle_86567-Land-Rover-Series-IIb-FC-1966.html
but the first with this rare 'Marshalls of Cambridge' ambulance body.
To be absolutely precise, this one is a Land-Rover 109" Series IIa FC (1962-66), while the other one is a Land-Rover 110" Series IIb FC (1966-72). The chassis was lengthend for the larger 2.6 l six cylinder engine in 1966. The position of the lights, sidelights and indicators differed slightly between the IIa and IIb models.


PS: I just bought this film last Saturday ... but was too slow! :lol:

I know quite a lot about the Series 2 FC models as I've done quite a bit of research to help me look after my brothers Series 2B FC.

the Series 2A was launched in 1962 just after the standard Series 2A featuring a large pickup body and a 1 1/4 ton payload on or off road. Initially it came with the 2.25 petrol engine and used 75% of a standard 109" Land Rover, including the axles. It did have a modified gearbox to bring the gearing down a bit to compensate for the big tyres such that the overall gearing was similar to the bonneted 109" models. In 1963 export models got the option of the 2.6 litre 6 cylinder engine and a stronger ENV axle became available as an option. These continued until 1966, by which time ENV axles front and rear were standard and the overall gearing had been lowered for better performance when fully laden. The vehicle was redesigned and for 1967 became the Series 2B featuring redesigned rear suspension with the springs mounted further out from the chassis and on top of the axle. The axles themselves were about 4" wider than before, and the front axle gained an anti-roll bar. these changes were designed to dramatically reduce body roll. Home models no longer had the 2.25 petrol engine but now came with either the 2.6 litre 6 cylinder engine or the 2.25 litre diesel. However, export markets still had the old 2.25 petrol engine as an option. There were a number of further changes, including the new updated interior (also found on bonneted models), a revised truck style gear linkage which was much more positive, but it meant it was no longer possible to have a middle seat. These continued with only detail changes until 1973 when the last ones rolled off the line.
