Pinzgauer 710K Landrover 101 pics

[VincenT]

Met the guys with British4x4 here in Jax. They work on Land Rovers and do some pretty amazing stuff. Eventually stopped by after seeing the 101 parked out in front a few months ago. I thought the Pinz was a climb getting into the drivers seat...Have to admit the 101 is a pretty cool rig...

It is not a 101, it is a 110 forward control!

Thanks for posting those images. I was kind of curious myself about the size differance between the Pinz and the FC Landrovers.

Regards,
Matt

no, it is a 101.. 110's were an earlier and completely different looking unit..

the series IIB's (110) were one of my favorite LR's...Pretty rare these days..

The IIB's are rare, but there are still more of them than 101 Vampires

The 101s look pretty neat, but since I have a Pinz and am prejudiced I can only say they seem to be a little too wide for the places I go.

Gee Andy,
You're not a good judge of sizes.are you ? First, you think my Supacat is a cute little sucker, now you think the 101 are wide... Actually, the widest point on a 101 is only 72" ( other than the ambulances which have a wider rear body), the 710/12 are only a little over 2" narrower. Basic length are 165" for a 710, 195" for a 712, and 180" for a 101 GS .

Pic of my Land Rover Series IIA 109.

The Land Rover 110 is the 110" wheel base wagon model of the Land Rover Defender 90

For "newer" owners of LR, 110 were the coiled spring version of the leaf sprung 109s ( wb increased 1")... "Defender" wasn't the name given to them until the end of the 1980's. The 110 ( after the Stage 1 109 ) were introduced before the 90 ( as a side note, only 6 or so 90"wb were made, and then they were stretched to 94", but kept the 90 name). I still have a wall poster from '85ish introducing the New 90s. Land Rover never "named" their vehicles prior to the "Discovery" ( Range Rover was considered a different marquee )
On the SeriesII forward controls, I remembered them as 109s with a second frame added on top of the 109 frame, to allow for the forward driving position. There was an "A" and a later "B" model ( it did get an inch added to the wb). I did find one reference to the "110" forward control ( Series IIB FC) in one era magazine.

Dave, maybe I don't have any depth perception in two dimensions or maybe I need new glasses. I couldn't even guesstimate on how long the 712 would be sitting next to a 710 anymore, never mind something I haven't seen except on the screen. Maybe I need a bigger monitor. I will say your Vampire is an awesome looking truck though. You can bet if I ever get out to Cal. I'll be wanting to come by and look at all your toys.

I remember those days....when the pinz was running... Clutch has her out of commission... I'm stuck seeing Boelt63A running around every other day in the 712??? Can someone please pour more lemon juice in my eyes With the hot weather and gas prices... I'm working more on my bikes then the 710...blasphemy, I know.

The 101 in the pic has an updated motor...it was either a Nissan or Mitsubishi diesel, also added a hydraulic steering system. Couldn't believe how much space the engine bay had. He told me how everyone use to mistake his 101 for a Pinz...told him that's nothing, people always asked what type of mileage my unimog got, I guess they missed the red signs in the front and rear that said pinzgauer???

 

[Tx75Pinz]

I hope you can get it fixed quickly. Can't imagine how sticky it would be in your part of the world in a Pinz with all your humidity. Pinz works good here though even when it gets hot. Just drink lots of water. Good luck with the repairs.

Ok, you are right, it is a 101. Should have a 3.5 l V8 according to my books.
They are not very common any more, so it happens that you mix them up.
