Details: Most of the 19 Land Rovers that have been taken into the numbered fleet since 1963 were long wheelbase examples used as personnel carriers. An exception was 4404LR (M997BEC), a Land Rover Defender 110 Tdi model used as a HV Mains Fault Investigation Unit. The vehicle has a distinctive appearance and, being unlettered, may have been mistaken for a portaloo! The picture was taken at Neasden in 1996.
This vehicle can still be seen in the London area although now operated by SeeBoard.

Thomas YoungWas seen at Harrow in 2005 in Powerlink livery (white with blue lettering, including a very large letter e on the bodyside). It had acquired a Luton-style body extension over the cab. Picture to be posted soon.Sat 19/05/07, 22:26
