RoW 300tdi 130 utility
Hi all. Thought I'd show you my 130.

She's a rest of world 300tdi. Been professionally converted to a utility by foley specialist vehicles.
She was used by petrofac as an ambulance on site at the shetland gas plant here she is when I got her.

And here she is now on a recent hill run with the Shetland Landrover club.

She's had a fair bit done to her by foleys and myself. She came with snorkel, rock sliders roof rack and a 2"lift kit.
I myself have fitted rx8 seats to the front and put the original fronts into the rear. Snow cowl, A few other cosmetics and really just given her a tidyup.
Plans in the pipeline are a full front mount allisport intercooler and boost pin. Possibly a VNT at a later stage too.

Foley make some cracking vehicle conversions and their 130 Utility SW is one of the best as it looks like it has come out of the factory. Also, the rear load bay is cavernous. Darren

Absolutely, unless you knew that LR didn't make utility 130s you'd be forgiven for thinking that it had come from the factory.
even with the 3 seats in the middle row the space in the rear is enormous.
I have the farmers Jack & an old OS survey telescope box for all my recovery equipment in the back and there's still plenty of room. White '03 RoW 300tdi 130 Utility (Converted From HICAP By Foleys Specialist Vehicles)

What an absolute peach! My absolute dream Land Rover is a 130 utility wagon! I just went out and bought LRM magazine just to read the article about such a conversion. It is built from a new ROW spec 110 300Tdi converted onto a new 130 chassis.

If I didn't have so much money in my 300Tdi converted Disco2 I'd be after a 130 just like this!

Great vehicle mate! 👍

cheers for all your very kind comments guys! She certainly does the job!
even earned me the "stick in the mud" trophy for the year with my local Landrover club Laughing Laughing

Even managed to get her in the "World of Landrover" section in the October issue of LRO magazine Mr. Green

Landrovers really are a bug as now it has a little brother in the form of a black 90 with the 3.5L EFI Rover V8 engine Twisted Evil
