RE: SER1 Land-Rover "family tree"... (welder & fire engines)

Hi again Paco!

There is something missing in your fabulous work and that is ...

YOUR SIGNATURE

Every masterpiece must have its artist well identified. :-))

Please sign it, so everybody knows the name behind the work.

I would also like to ask your permisdsion to publish this in our local Land
Rover Club web site (www.landmania.pt). It is a perfect fit there.

Thanks for the effort!

In practice, only 113 welder conversions were built, so I do not know if
we can speak in terms of any basic model but a specific conversion:

Concerning fire engines, the problem is similar to the military
conversions (too many):
