G4 F2 Mongolian Media / Recce Vehicle

I have just bought one of the two F2's that actually went to Mongolia as a media / recce vehicle (the other one is believed to have been scrapped).

I am looking for the original roof-rack for it as it was removed prior to sale. If anyone can help with reuniting it with the car, or supplying a new one, please send me a pm.

Any other information about the vehicle would be most welcome.

So if you are on the roads and see a Tangiers Orange F2 with most of the G4 gear and stickers on it should be me! You will also see the Freel2.com orange sticker in the rear window if you get close enough! mole

Nice garage selection of cars Mr. Green

Try nick lee (forum member The Large One) at Yeovil Landrover he'll do his best to locate any parts you need, and tell him it via the forum and he'll do his best on the price

obviously duckworth parts might be able to too

anyway we want photos..... Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Nice one, would have loved one of these

Have you seen the AJS tyres (think that's the name) are sell the XS wheels with MTR tyres (as used on the G4) for sale, if that helps.

Never seen anything about the roof rack, would love to have one for mine, with spots on it.

Good luck searching. Keep us up to date, and please furnish us with pics as well. Very Happy

Rich

Pictures will be available as soon as I get the equipment needed for photography in the 21st. century - and learn how to use it!!

Thanks for the info regarding the wheels / tyres. I will look into that asap.

Hope to be on the G4 Club stand at the Peterborough show on the Saturday and at the London to Brighton run first weekend in October. mole

Also, I was told my Nene Overland, when I first got my FL2 that the safety devices rack from the FL1 would fit it. I know it looks very similar to the G4 rack, but I can't imagine the mounting points are in the same place on the 2 vehicles.

Was wondering though, if you're finding it hard getting the G4 one, if you could find a safety devices rack, get new mounts made for it, and re-powder coat it.

Just a thought, depends how much work you want to do.

Don't know if the G4 Freelander2 had a winch but if it does you probably have a wire and not what they had for the recce/challenge which was tangier orange plasma rope. I have just fitted a length of it to my Defender after parting the purple plasma rope that came with the winch (don't ask!), anyway the UK importer of plasma ropes is in Glasgow not far from me and he has plenty of the G4 plasma and at extra cost he can also supply the special Tangiers Orange G4 hooks (normally they are yellow) that LR asked him to source as well as the ropes.



The importer's website is here http://www.ruftraks.co.uk/index.htm

You will probably get your roofrack from Safety Devices and Mantec also supplied a lot of the bits (possibly even the roof rack!) How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Thanks for the info.
No winch on the F2 and my local LR parts department is working hard to source the roofrack - the original is a Breed item (it does help when you have a dealership who have people working there who are LR enthusiasts!!)
I will keep you updated as to progress and post pictures as soon as I can. mole

Mole are you aware that there is a G4 owners club at http://www.g4ownersclub.com
There are a lot of folks who know a lot about the G4 cars on there. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Have you been to Harrogate?
I saw a Tangiers Orange F2 a while ago... in my series 3 so no point in flashing or waving. I had a G4 Disco 2 for 4 years, I am founding vice chairman of the G4 Owners CLub and now have a F2 in Stornoway Grey with G4 Owners club stickers in rear and side windows and FREEL2.COM in the back window in orange. Are you the F2 in the G4OC?
