Lightweight (2.25 Petrol)
Rafe bought his Land Rover in March 2001 and
has since fitted new doors, windscreen, hood, exhaust, unleaded

fuel/temp gauges and grille.

Rafe wanted a Land Rover which fitted his
requirements rather than replicating a military Land Rover
specification. So his other modifcations were:
|
parabolics
gas shocks
kenlowe fan spotlights
halogen headlamps cubby box
stereo
CB
fire extinguisher & safety hammer
|
|
high-lift jack
Range Rover seats
steering guard
diff guard
PivLock spare wheel carrier
new wheels and tyres
under-bonnet sound-proofing
re-paint. |
and finally, a ply-lined
back (with floor across bench seats giving secure storage
underneath),
After completing all the modifications Rafe
took Laa Laa to Morocco in September 2001 with a friend, Tristan.
