Didn't think there were many of these still operating the V8 - least of all any that had seen service in the Middle East(they were rechassised and the majority dieseled about 5 years ago - using chassis built by Otokar). Originally designed to protect troops during the troubles in Ireland so were mostly low mileage reponse vehicles held in store until they sent to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Impressed it's still got the cooling blankets in place(and by fact it's clearing the side locker the A/c in place) - think that conversion was project Chile(!) after the in vehicle temperatures were found to reach nearly 60 degrees Celsuis.
Would suggest hunting down a set of caliper spacers and discs of the PSNI Tangi land rovers(sometime Craddocks have them sure one part number is something like FTC1917 & 18) - the discs are absolute monsters otherwise leave it standard.
If you damage the glass or it starts delaminating the ballistic glazing is pricey(Try Tyneside Safety Glass if you need any though).
Good luck and have fun.

The name Snatch goes back to its original use in Northern Ireland used to invade an residential area arrest the IRA bad lads and away fast in fast out..
And as for the Glass I still have some contacts in Saint Gobain Tynside and Peterlee Glass even so it costs a fortune so maybe some alternatives would be better......
