And Brad has been busy transforming the 1972 Land Rover Series III 109 to a Gulf War (I) configuration. The vehicle was originally painted "NATO Green" while it was in service with the British military and NATO in Belgium. When Brad had it shipped to the U.S., it was painted "Sandstone"(a tan color), and convered from a soft top to a hard top. Unfortunately this color blended too well with the sand in Florida (where the 109 was hit by a motorcyclist), and Brad decided to paint the 109 a striking "AAA Yellow". The vehicle is now returning to a military look with a new hoop set and canvas top, and will eventually be outfitted with authentic insignias, stenciled paint, etc. from the UK. Eventually the 101 will get the same cosmetic overhaul.
