TEW is a very lovely job, pretty well equates to a 100" NAS spec.
Indeed... ISTR It was used as some sort of fire engine in its former life. Many moons ago, when Nick first restored TEW, I remember reading about the restoration in LRO. it has since been refurbished recently by a friend of mine.I bumped into Nick just after lockdown but recognised TEW before I spotted him stood next to it.

I think our paths have definitely crossed! Indeed... ISTR It was used as some sort of fire engine in its former life. Many moons ago, when Nick first restored TEW, I remember reading about the restoration in LRO. it has since been refurbished recently by a friend of mine.

TEW has had some interesting iterations, from RRC to split screen hybrid to the Frogs Island Defenderisation to the latest Ben Stowe NAS style in white. I didn't know it had been a fire engine as well!
Here's another gratuitous photo, at Gaydon Aug 21, mines the Shire Blue V8 soft top alongside. The wheelbase should be 8" different, but TEW is a little longer than 100"- closer to 102"
