Howard's 1969 S2A FFT
« on: June 19, 2014, 08:07:40 AM »
My 10 year project is finished after five weeks full time effort (a bucket list job!) so thought I would post a few pics.

Looks very nice.  Hope mine doesn't take that long !!!
The AMF plate is curious.  I have a 1960 Ser.2 FFW and
it's ARN is 111-515.   Very close.

That is my best guess for the number on my unit's land rover in the 1961 picture. Unfortunately I don't have any other pics so had to guess the last number. It is not the ARN for my S2A.

Looking good Howard!  Looking at that, and the front ish photo of yours on the FFW page http://remlr.com/2_109ffw.html  , I would say that would be the best guess of the rego of your old girl.

Auscam canopy looks good!
