THE REVS Restore project brings people together, encouraging community, providing a place of support for times when people are facing challenges in their lives. How many times have you gone to a Land Rover event, spoken to like-minded people and come away with lifted spirits? This is the same idea.
The cause was kindly donated a 1975 Series III 109in by Tim Compson, for a group restoration project supporting REVS aims – hence the name: REVS Restore.
The 109in has a bit of interesting history. Itexported to the Falklands where it was pressed into airport duties during the 1982 conflict and spent many years over on the island, returning to the UK in the late 1990s. Today it has had the water pump removed, but the PTO, some pipework and identification plaques for the inlets and outlets still exist on the body. At some point during its stay in the Falklands, it gained a hard top with tropical roof and had been running around Norfolk in this configuration until it was SORNed and taken off the road a few years ago.
