Vehicle History

Military ERM: HS16AA

This Land Rover started life as a Fitted For Radio (FFR), later on it was converted to a Refurbished Weapon Mounted Instillation Kit (RWMIK) this process included the fitting of an upgraded engine, automatic gearbox and upgraded suspension and axles to include locking differentials, this allowed a General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) to be fitted for the commander to use and the top gunner could have either; 50cal machine gun, GPMG or a 40mm Grenade Machine Gun (GMG). After leaving service a previous owner has reconfigured it to a basic FFR body and swapped the engine and gearbox for a standard wolf one.

This vehicle deployed to both Afghanistan and Canada.
