Alexander ◊ 2006-11-01 00:41	GREAT! At last a Tempo-Land-Rover! This is the 80" version from 1953. There is a chance of 1 in 50 that one of the two vehicles is mine! The third vehicle in the small picture on the left is the later 86" version from 1954. Ralph, was the film shown on TV or can you buy it somewhere?
Ralph ◊ 2006-11-01 00:52	was on TV in a special Horst Buchholz series. now pic's of this car in original size:

sixcyl ◊ 2006-11-01 09:15	how can we recognize Tempo Land Rover from normal Land Rover?
Alexander ◊ 2006-11-01 11:02	sixcyl wrote how can we recognize Tempo Land Rover from normal Land Rover? This is not too difficult: The body from the A-column backwards is different. While on the normal LRs the side is as high as the wing, the side of the Tempos is as high as the lower edge of the windscreen. Also the body has the 'Kübelwagen' layout, i.e. no rear door or tailgate and a fold down hood (cabriolet style). Additionally there are two quite distinctive hatches in the wings. They are used for so called standing chains, a special kind of wheel wedge used in combination with the capstan winch. A third notable difference, but only on the 80" version, is the side window box on the bonnet. The side windows are removable and find a stowage place there. The 86" versions had the spare wheel placed on the bonnet, like normal LRs. -- Last edit: 2006-11-01 11:03:24

Mmmm, according to the license this is a Land Rover Pick-up, officially registrated in Holland... -- Last edit: 2006-11-01 17:29:44
Alexander ◊ 2006-11-01 16:45	wickey wrote there was only 100 ever build? 100 of the 80" version plus 150 of the 86". But sources vary on this point. About 250 were made for the 'Bundesgrenzschutz' (German Border Police) with this special body. After this batch Tempo sold standard Land-Rover badged as Tempo-Land-Rover for a number of years on the civilian market.
Alexander ◊ 2006-11-01 17:02	garco wrote Mmmm, from the license this is a Land Rover Pick-up, officially registrated in Holland... Show me a registration officer that knows about Tempo-Land-Rover! As all these vehicles started life as a military vehicle and were registered for civilian life in the late 1960s, at a time when Vidal & Sohn (Tempo) was long gone (became part of Hanomag -> Hanomag-Henschel -> Mercedes-Benz), you will often find rather inaccurate documentation. Some are listed as 'Vidal & Sohn', as 'Tempo', the correct 'Tempo-Land-Rover', 'Land-Rover' or 'Rover'. It is quite understandable that it was registered as 'Land-Rover', as it looks like one and even uses the Rover chassis numbers. Only few officials would start a new category for a single vehicle when it is easily squeezed into an existing one. A few civilian owners, often farmers or builders, converted it into a pick-up by adding a tailgate.
