The Land Rover FC101 was built to satisfy a British Army requirement for an air-transportable heavy duty four wheel drive vehicle. There is nothing civilian (or civilized) about it.
The FC101 originally came with Rover's 3.5 liter V8. It has a 4-speed transmission, 2-speed transfer case and full-time four wheel drive. A 24 volt charging system was standard. (Probably made by Lucas - Which most likely means that you get twice the sparks and smoke than you get with a standard Lucas 12 volt set-up.)
Quite a few of these, including this one, were built with LHD, as they spent a lot of time on the European continent as part of NATO.This one has had its V8 removed, with an (unknown brand) diesel taking its place. Apparently, that's a pretty common swap.
