Land Rover LRPV

[Stuart Kirkham]

The Series 2A LRPV (Long Range Patrol Vehicle) was modified and used by the Australian SAS (Special Air Service) during the 70's and 80's.

I have two of these original LRPVs. Both are 1969 models but have slightly different R.O.P.S configurations.

As these vehicles are ex SAS, there is little information available to the general public including photographs.

I am collecting together info and photos so that I can finish off my latest LRPV aquisition (174-323) to 'in service' status. This will include all weaponry, comms equipment, cammo gear and all ancillary equipment.

Any info will help.

I am aware of the LRPVs at the Bandiana Army Museum and SAS Museum, Perth.
