Another cleared one from my archive of vehicle graveyards. A lot of these were, like the previous one, removed by a racer I know on Facebook and the vans were raced at Kings Lynn's charity van meeting later in 2019.

On a whim I visited an NSRA hot rod event at Santa Pod in late 2018 and spotted this place whilst having a nose around the outskirts of the airfield afterwards. Fast forward a few months and I finally managed to return to have a proper look rather than just a long-range photo from the gate. These vehicles were in a compound which was also home to a few of the old airfield buildings, either being used for storage or as workshops. As such, with people on site very close by to us obviously working in the buildings and the general feel of the place being less than friendly or welcoming we didn't stick around for too long or outstay our welcome, we rattled off some phone shots and that was about it.

Very nice. Always a land rover. :D

They're definitely among the most common vehicles in these places second only to Ford Transits!

Nice. Like the old ambulance shots. never seen an ambulance like this before :thumb

It was likely used as an ambulance vehicle on the raceway, as an interim treatment centre whilst they waited for a proper ambulance to arrive.

I did wonder, that makes sense. Great wander
