Seit dem hat man von dem Auto nichts mehr gesehen. Er hatte ja noch einen alten Landy mit Riemenscheibe und Kreissäge. Hatte mit Heppsen auch mal Teile getauscht. War ein Richtig guter. Schade das er nicht mehr da ist.

H Again, I would just like to say that the late Boris Hepp posted on a number of forums in the UK and I have followed him over the years admiring his fantastic work ..

Hi Paul "Baltik",
at least the Land Rover pictured in your post #1 is what it seems to be. A Land Rover 88 S2a ex-BGS, a former German Border Control one.
Regarding to the front winch, double front bumpers, the double horns, the wheel chock holder and so on.

Boris Hepp (real name) or "heppsen" as in several german and uk forums has been a good friend of mine for at least three decades. Sad to say he passed away too early in 2019.

As one thread about his ex-BGS Land Rover 88 Series 2 has been posted here above, there is also another one - started the story earlier - and also with some more pictures to be found here:

Maybe some of the detailed pics might help to get yours sorted,

Hi Carsten,
Thanks very much for the reply, I followed Boris in a number of forums in the UK, I found his work truly outstanding and it inspired me to go that extra step and restore my Land Rover as a BGS even down to the colour ,which I found in one of his posts. The reason I joined this forum was also because of Boris and his build log as I wanted to find more info and thanks to you I now have. The next stage in my restoration is to create a rolling chassis with electrics for ignition and charging. The mystery of 24 volts and 90 amp generators await .Regards Paul
