900 Club Forum

Good morning,

Hello all, I'm currently restoring a 6Cyl 109 3/4 ton had a few hiccups along the way but getting there. Also own a 110 defender which is ex BT.

Currently trying to upload some pictures of them.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

This is my 110 ex BT. I have taken the racking off the roof for daily driving.

Here is the 6 Cyl 109, I was hoping to get it finished over summer. But I was been let down by the guys supply the Bulkhead. They took 3 months to deliver instead of the 3 weeks they promised.

I don't think that is ex-BT, more likely ex-E-on Central Networks.





BT Defenders were quite plain by comparison.

The reason I joined the forums is that after I've finished the 109 I would like to get my hands on a 1 ton. I've had a look at the forum and website and I think the 1 tons are amazing vehicles.

Do you have any advice on my quest to own one?

Are there any 1 ton events that I can start to get involved with?

My ideal vehicle would be a 1 Ton series 2, not scared of a bit of restoration. But not sure I've got the time to dedicate to another chassis up. I would consider trading my current vehicles for one.

1 ton wonder, that's what I initially thought but it's was full of bits of BT paper work and someone handily wrote its service history on the underside of the bonnet, all relating to BT.

Hang on, I think I know what may have happened - they may have been owned by a company called BTFleet (which is part of the telecoms firm) which would explain the BT bit, but the user was almost certainly E-on, it is even in a close reg sequence to the vehicle I posted. It is like when I worked at SSE a lot of their vehicles were actually owned by another company and leased, to the paperwork related to the lease firm.

As to any 1-Tons for sale - well any seen would be in the for sale section but as you will appreciate they do not come up very often, and can sometimes be in a pretty appalling state. Any we find out about will be advertised here first.

I see, is there anyway I could find more out about its history?
