Tim imported a 101 from England, and has modified it quite significantly. Coil springs, roll cage, 38" Super Swampers, and a 3.9 EFI V8 make it quite a different machine than it started out. He has fitted an ARB air locker to the rear diff. (which requires modification of the side gears as the diff. in the 101 is a unique type) to replace the Detroit locker that broke .

The 101 attracts attention. There are only a handful in New Zealand and most people have no idea that it is actually a Landrover at all.

Tim also owns a even more gnarly vehicle - an Alvis Stalwart.
