Wolf Land Rover

Hi there,

I am buying a new landy yay! Spotted a genuine re-built WOLF ffr on milweb http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?21704-Genuine-Wolf-90-FFR

spoke to the chap on the phone, very nice genuine guy so I may well go ahead and buy her, just wondering though, having searched on the forum a lot of people saying its a very different beast to the standard defender how hard it is to get spares etc. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

Hoooo!!! that looks nice and tidy!!!

what a beauty!

she does look really clean

personally it dont float my boat

is that a 300tdi there is no belt on that alternator is there ???????

second alt or generator me thinks possibly for a 24v radio or sumfin

If the guy says he's fitted 2 new batteries then it could be a 24volt system so all the electrics would be non-standard.
Maybe its 12 volt with main and auxillary batteries.
Looks nice and low mileage but seems an awful lot of money for a 13 year old 90. Don't know how much of a premium a Wolf would go for

Its nice very nice but its not 15 grand nice.

It is very very nice, but why the hell are they worth 15k?

They are not! They are only worth what someone will pay for them. You could buy a very nice 90 or 110 for £15k.

Wolfs always command a ridiculous premium because they are so difficult to get hold of. The MOD tend to repair them ( even write offs) because they are of such value to the MOD. I recall an ex navy fella set up a business repairing military Land Rovers on behalf of the MOD. They are Gonna be hard to find some parts for, but I presume a lot of the drivetrain will be the same as a standard def. Chassis is Different I beleive. It has strengthening and is webbed too.

Wow! That's really nice; I'd have it if only I could afford it!

as far as I know the whole machine is 24V and the aux alternator is for the ffr radio equipment

It looks good,. but 15K?? Thats a lot for, well, not a lot!

Scotia911 is correct, the whole vehicle is 24v. Seem to remember that the wheel bearings may have been uprated. Alternators may have extra shielding on them to prevent water ingress. Uprated Radius arm bushes. If still equipped with original towing gear it would be pintle with military elecs socket. Nothing you couldn't handle. 15k tho!

by the way, im in the army and work with these evey day, so im some what of a subject matter expert on them
