cheap 101 and are the APES sought after in that case, like french corrugated vans
No mot or road tax and motorcycle license but are bloody expensive new...
History I have on the 101,
Was sold to Foley in the UK from Disposal Sales Depot,Ayrshire Barracks,Monchengladbach,Germany on the 24th of Feb 1995 20 years after being in service mod reg was 75 FL 72...
It was a LHD FFR 24v with winch GS...
Foley rebuilt it as 12v and galvanised the chassis I have the original Disposal cert and the galvanising receipt...
Date of first reg is July 1997 and I have the V\52 from my friend I bought it from...he purchased it not from Foley but privately in June 1999 and I have original mot from that month showing 4666 klm recorded he then applied for an export certificate and drove it here to the Algarve to use in his house renovation company he started matriculation and used it for around 2yrs but things didn't work out and it sat under a tree from 2002 till 2016 when I bought it...

Thanks for this, very interesting! Wondering if the Rover is a V8 or not, get the feeling it isn't but don't know why.
Looking forward to following this.
Just noticed you can see through it under the load bed. Never knew that!
Low mileage is not the word and presumably maintained by REME?

If the wiring is all connected by insulating tape, probably.

It is a V8 and original matching number...have replaced the dizzy with electronic as it had been swopped during 24-12v conversion also has an electric fan but have original fan and shroud, in the box of bits which is an ammunition box there was also brand new final drive gear ratios from a RRC to fit plus lots of light units...it was a non runner s\s new petrol tank not plumbed in but new remote pump lying in back along with sender have used general tractor fittings to pipe it up to original filters...
It was rewired by Folay 4x4 after disposal...but when they converted it from 24 to 12v hard crimped everything instead of using bullets makes taking it apart to do anything a bloody pain...

Think outside, no box required.

you're a lucky man there Shippers!
Always fancied a 101, a chap around me has one, albeit a 2.25 DIESEL!!
Love 'em

History on the P6 as far as I know...
Is a LHD 2000tc built in 1968 and first reg in Lisbon...
It had been off the road for around 15yrs when I bought it...
I have found a booklet in the car listing journeys between Lagos and Portimaio on a daily basis with fuel and servicing details...
My thoughts are in 68 the only way that that car would be here is by being bought by the Embassy or one of the Port houses...
It was definitely in British ownership as recently while working on rust treatment the vibrations dislodged a 1969 ten pence piece from the windscreen demist channels...
