Old new stock Ex MOD LR SWB 24v Canvass Tilt For Sale

Near perfect ex MOD new tilt for 24v SWB Series Land Rover.
Purchased 31years ago from Craddocks as a "New Old Stock" item.

In those days Craddocks had shop area which was full of all sorts of goodies, much of ex MOD, including a selection of tilts for 88" and 110" LR's. This was amongst the "New" pile.

My 2A when I bought it [1985]had a tatty tilt on it but was a SWB Station Wagon; I'd sourced a correct SWB Station Wagon top at Aberdeen Airport which needed some work. While I worked on it I fitted the MOD tilt to my 2A; the Station Wagon top took about 6 weeks to sort and fit. So this tilt has seen 6 weeks use and been dry stored ever since.

The photographs show v. minor marking where the tilt was in contact with the frame together with colouration due to being stored in a variety of work-shops, MOD as well as my own, over a 30-40 year period.

All the webbing is present and in as new condition; the aerial sleeves in each side have never been used, likewise the cable access points. There are no tears; there is one v. small hole - see pic, an acid burn I think, which is about 5mm dia on the roof towards the rear; the rear window is crystal clear.

Overall, this is in excellent condition given that it is probably at least 40+ years old.

New ex MOD Series LR tilts are just unavailable now and its people like me who have them. I sold my LR last year and I'm gradually selling off the stuff I have left. I rediscovered this in a storage box and brushed it down a couple of weeks ago. I've been informed by a military LR dealer that new ex MOD Series tilts command a premium price due to their rarity. You can of course buy new tilts that look the part but don't have aerial sleeves etc for £350; new ex MOD Series LR tilts are double this or more.

Given this tilt has seen a little use I've set the price at £575. If you are interested let me know; if you would like to see it that's OK too.
