The record

The Wolf (Truck Utility Medium, Heavy Specification) entered British service from 1996–98 as the strengthened military Defender 110 with the 300 Tdi engine. A large share of the fleet was built Fitted For Radio: a 24-volt electrical system with a second alternator and battery box powered the Clansman radios of the day and, from the mid-2000s, the Bowman digital installation. Think Defence's 2022 review of options for replacing the Army's Land Rover fleet pictured the hard-top FFR variant — windowless hard top, snorkel on the left A-pillar, mesh headlamp guards, a stowage bin on the rear body and antenna base mounts along the hard-top side — as the archetypal signals vehicle of the fleet. Production numbers for the FFR hard top specifically are not published.

The registry's model is a Defender 110 hard top in NATO green with the Wolf door mirrors, snorkel, headlamp guards, stowage bin, two antenna base masts, bonnet lettering and black steel wheels.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
