Hey Diana, 112-374 wasn't lost. I knew where it was all the time. It has just left my place and will be getting some work done on in shortly. I drove it to the tilt tray so it still drives OK.

Sorry, not great resolution


Is that 112-377 or 112-372. 372 was the more photographed one (if there are any of 377) the item of interest is the tac sign holder on the RHS guard in front of the firewall.

Hi Geoff

All is good, it was only lost to the REMLR database.

I know that the person escorting the tilt tray has known about it for a while, but I didn't know it was at your place.

Actually the escort has known about it for a long time.
I will post a couple of photos shortly.

Thought this may be useful, and maybe should be a sticky (but will let the Mods decide) it will be a work in progress as information comes to hand.  :)

I couldn't post more than 3 links per post so have created the index as an Adope Acrobat document.

Have you ever seen a buggy or other in-service SII or SIIa with an ign key?

You may have seen the comment about my buggy having a key with a an aluminium key tag and the letters SW5 stamped in.  I can't see a post-service civilian tag being given the military vehicle ID "SW5". 

I would be interested in your opinion.

Do you know the ownership history of your Gunbuggy 112-723 and it's 'civilian sister' 112-372. Both were recently bought from the same owner. Did he/she own them since release from army? Did 112-372 have a similar key tag?

Do you know when your Gunbuggy was released from service as there in no notation on REMLR ARN page?

I can think of two scenarios for the tags.

1. The tags were attached to a retro fitted ignition by the first civilian owner who gave your vehicle it's own ID of (SW2) after seeing this identification number SW2 on your vehicle. This would seem logical if there were more than one of the same type of Land Rover in use by same owner. No point getting single keys mixed up. Tag them and you solve that problem. If the vehicles weren't licenced, then they could not use the licence plate as identification.

or

2. If 723 was released in the late 80s or early 90s, it may have been retro fitted with a key ignition for safety or security reasons. Maybe 723 was relegated to 'unit/barrack hack' and could only be used by signing it in and out. This would prevent an 'old' vehicle from venturing onto 'modern' streets.

These are the only logical conclusions I can come to. There may be others that members could post up.

Hi Tommy

Both vehicles came to me from the same eco farm via a 3rd party and I then offered 372 to Numpty who picked it up before I had taken delivery of mine.  I have not had access to the eco farm location or information but did ask about the missing fittings and aero screens without response.

There is evidence of 723 being in AusCam prior to disposal most particularly the Camouflage Brown and Camouflage green in the passengers footwell.   Its not possible to determine which areas of black was original AusCam and what was the post service faux aboriginal rock art.  However the presence of AusCam would make it late 1980s or early 1990s disposal.

I'll have t ask Perry about a key in 372.
