Has Anybody Seen This Land Rover Forward Control Recently?
This was Iain Watson's Land Rover Forward Control, featuring a custom made camper unit, with a pop-top, that continued the horizontal lines from the front doors all the way down the length of the tray-sides, mimicking the regular IIA utility's cargo area in style and width. The entire camper part of the vehicle was designed and built by Iain in the early 1980s at Dodges Ferry, south east of Tasmania's capital city of Hobart. Has anybody seen it recently? It was sold and reportedly went to mainland Australia in the late 1990s but, distinctive as it is, I've never been able to track it down. Any info would be appreciated - or, failing that - please feel free to share this post about within the Australian Land Rover and broader four-wheel-drive communities. Please leave any tip-offs or leads in the comments section of this post. U M P H (uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au). Photo from Iain's private collection.
