You are more or less on the right track, but the Ford Bronco was very much up there as well with its suspension set up.

Well mine is called Elsie, the plate starts with LC which i actually called it, my eldest misheard me and wrote Elsie in chalk on the back and the name has stuck unlike the chalk :)

Get some of that MOT fail yellow crayon, that stuff lingers.

DW I am correct in thinking that the bronco, was an early adopter of coil front leaf rear set up as favoured by several large Japanese manufacturers.

I can't remember - I'll have to dig the book out and report back...

The roadworthy one is Oom. Seems the majority of land rovers are getting their names from the number plate and this is no exception.

The one in rebuild will no doubt get a name once it's back together.

Wonder what WFK could be called if I ever decided to name it which is totally a no no.

Wonder what WFK could be called if I ever decided to name it which is a definite no no!

I name them for their actions or where they came from or their reg plate.

had a 130 called crab as it looked like a crab as it crawled over rocks (to me anyway)

have a 88" from macclesfield, so its name is macclesfield

have an 88" with the reg JYD so I call it JYD (pronounced JID, like lid) :cheers-man

Maybe Bertie (from Bertie Wooster, loosely related to the Worcester registration letters (FK)).  :cool

It was impressed upon me once when I collected a S2 that it was referred to as Hercules by the family, and should retain the name.

The registration number was originally on a 1963 Tornado Talisman. It was given to me in 2006. It looks fine on black and silver plates on a Series 3.
FK were the only registration letters issued to the borough of Worcester.
