Alexander ◊ 2006-06-15 12:48	Looks like an armoured 109" Series III. It is not the typical armoured Land-Rover used in Northern Ireland in the seventies, called 'Piglet': http://www.joseph1.demon.co.uk/pgpiglet.htm Nor is it one of the heavy armoured Shortland conversions: http://www.shorland.info/variants/sb301/sb301.html It might be an early variant of the 'Tangi'. Here a picture of a modern Defender based variant: http://www.travel-images.com/view.shtml?ulster13.jpg I'll see if I can find out more.
