This splendid-looking Land Rover was supplied new to Colman's Mustard by their local Mann Egerton dealer. They resprayed it from Grey to Red and it served as their fire tender and personnel carrier for 18 years - when on fire duty it towed an HCB Angus pump. It was first registered when sold to the company's doctor in 1988, who employed it to access patients in outlying areas. It then passed to a friend before the vendor acquired 'EVG 82H' in 2013. He has subsequently carried out a comprehensive restoration that included: new wings, doors, floors, sills, 12-seat Exmoor interior, headlining, Avon tyres, and lights; respray inside and out; full mechanical overhaul and engine service etc. Considered by the vendor to now be 'excellent' throughout, it is being sold complete with old log books and MOT into January. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but credible 20,350 miles.
