- In original 1950s Steels of Cheltenham livery
- Extensively restored by the previous owner
- Featured in Land Rover Owner International magazine
The previous owner carried out an extensive rebuild, retaining the original Steels of Cheltenham paintwork and sign writing wherever possible (it had been completely painted over with light blue paint, which was painstakingly removed to reveal the original paintwork and sign writing).
A brand new Radfords galvanised bulkhead was fitted and the chassis repaired where needed, though it was in very good order to start with. The engine is not the original but is the correct 'spread bore' 2.0-litre petrol unit of similar age, which has been rebuilt. The gearbox and both axles were overhauled; the rear axle is from a later Series II, which is a common upgrade from the fragile Series I rear axle. An original Mann Egerton crane, complete with support jacks, is fitted on the rear cross-member. On the front there is a Mann Egerton 'Towing Ambulance' with its draw bar stored under the rear body through the PTO hole in the rear cross member. A later Series I recirculating-ball steering box has been fitted, which makes the steering both less wayward and lighter.
A unique vehicle that creates a lot of interest, the tow truck was featured in Land Rover Owner International magazine's April 2012 edition. Finished in 2011, the Land Rover had covered only 430 miles when the late Peter Stevens purchased it

- More recently it took part in the HCVS London to Brighton Run in May 2025.
