You're welcome mate!Thank-you, @Greek Cruiserhead . Would have been nice if they included a photo of the VIN plate in that magazine article.
I wonder if that is among the earliest Troopies, being RHD. Perhaps someone has a Troopy from the Middle East or elsewhere that is older or points to their production starting in 1975 or 1976? Maybe a dated sales brochure from that period showing photos of available models?
It seems that a pic of the shield with all its details was not so important for Overlander's readers back in 1977. We know at least, from the specs they published, that this is a FJ45R-K JQ...
...and yes, a Middle East search for these early Troopies is worthwhile: Expat Mudders in the area this is your turn now!
Greetings from Greece,
Demetrios
