Peter Coello's Series 2a Forward Control.

Peter also owns this interesting 2a Forward Control MPV.

Recently imported from Cyprus this rare Forward Control 110 Series 2b belongs to Ian Rumsey.

This is the first production 2a Forward Control, awaiting restoration in Peter Coello's garden.

Affectionally known as "The Kebab Van" this 2a Forward Control was once a crew bus for Land Rover engineers.

A good picture showing the differences between 2a and 2b Forward Controls (2a on the right!)

Mick Outhwaite has just bought this ex-cropsprayer to restore.

This is ALF. He is a 1964 Series 2b Forward Control with Radar body from the RAF, lovingly restored by Brian Jill and Megan Marshall.

Brrrrr!!! It's too cold to work on Mick Outhwaite's Forward Control today.

Ketil Oftedahl's 2b was once an emergency vehicle with some sort of box body.

Not a Series 2 Forward Control, but worth including here for its rarity value.

This Series 3 Forward Control, owned by Chris Mayne, was once a mobile incident unit for Notts Police, now being converted as a camper.

Immaculate 2a being washed by Firefly appliance.

Working 2b FC with full canvas back.

Superb crewcab conversion for Hot Air Balloon chasing.

2b or not 2b, that is the question.

Sage green 2a.

Another picture of the infamous kebab van, showing off its Dormobile roof.

2b diesel is certainly slow and noisy.

Interesting overhead picture comparing the sizes. From left to right; 2b FC 110; 2 truck cab 88; 2a trayback 109.

James Stanley has been restoring this 2B. He hopes to have it finished, complete with body conversion by August 2005.

Occasionally we get updates on vehicles featured here. This is "ALF" (pictured above) now restored back to his original operational colours.

Series IIB Forward Control (VIN 33100105a) as it currently stands in Sydney Australia waiting for restoration, submitted by Diana Alan.

The following pictures are from the archives of former Post Office Telecommunications vehicles.

An interesting fifth wheel plus trailer combination.

A "cherry picker" elevated platform vehicle. These were once quite common around the country.

A more usual type of conversion, this one is a box body type, used as a workshop or tool store.

Thanks to Scott Snowling for these pictures.

1968  2b fc 6x4 fitted with perkins 4236 and overdrive, crew cab with rollbar and harvey frost recovery crane.
