Re: SER1 Land-Rover "family tree"...

Hi there

It looks good - a lot of effort here.  Well done.

There's just a couple of things I thought about after giving it a quick scan -
there was an off-shoot of the Stage 1 V8's (1-ton) version which was turned
into armoured cars by two different makers.  I'm not talking about the simple
Kevlar plating put over the standard body.  This also applied to the earlier
1-ton versions.  Also the IIa & b FC's had some unusual prototype models if
you felt like including them.

Personally I would include each variant as a different model - Full soft-top,
3/4 tilt, van etc as they were all designed for different purposes.  And for
the SWB Stage 1's.  They built 8.  Two were on standard SIII SWB chassis, and
the other 6 had their own series of chassis numbers.

Regards

Nick Chinery
