Unmolested? I would think very rare.How rare are these?
1976 Land Rover 101
Project 101 Land Rover V8 It is registered to the date of manufacture which is 1976, we also have the original Army registration number and V5 registration. Solid chassis, red leaded and blacked....www.facebook.com
If memory serves, a lot were butchered by the film industry when making the Judge Dredd movie and I don't think there were that many to start with.

DeTomaso Pantera?

Manufacturers such as Ferrari and Corvettes dominated the American sports car scene in the US during the late 1960s. De Tomaso had designs on developing a grand tourer that would appeal whilst taking advantage of an exciting streamline design, mid-engined engineering and a significantly more accessible price tag that would also sell in higher numbers. It was at this time that De Tomaso purchased the famous Italian coachbuilders, Ghia, and began to develop the brand-new concept, De Tomaso Pantera by Ghia.
Still using Ford’s 5.8 litre Cleveland, V8 with a five-speed manual gearbox, the race inspired independence suspension benefited from four-wheel disc brakes all round and magnesium Campagnolo wheels with the master cylinders & battery housed in the front compartment for easy access. The interior featured an aggressive cockpit design, full instrumentation, factory air-conditioning and electric windows. This early 1972 example was originally sourced from a private collection in the Middle East before returning to Europe. It has recently had a new clutch and pressure plate fitted as well as a new gear linkage in order to facilitate the driving experience, especially when you compare it to the equally good quality of the, probably original, paintwork.
The engine starts up with a new battery, distributer cap and relatively fresh engine oil. The carpet-lining in the front bay is in good order containing, as it does, the master slave cylinder and battery, also appearing to be sound although it does show signs of light surface corrosion. The De Tomaso club noted that the exhaust system appears to be an after-market unit although this is a relatively inexpensive item to change. It sports the correct Campagnolo alloy wheels all round for additional strength and lightness along with (205/70R15 front and 215/70R15 rear) Nexen tyres as well as the original leather pouch containing the scissor jack. These are highly sought-after sports cars with a smooth profile, particularly collectable when offered at this price point.

Only a few were permanently butchered, the rest were put back to standard at Dunsfold Landrovers and sold.

Yes you are right. Between Valheim and Skibrei. On the left if you are heading north.
Most of the old machinery got scrapped here in the last 20 years. You dont see much around.

If you click on the map Norsk posted, you can enlarge itA section of map with zero notation on it. How useful
and see that the road runs between Skilbrei and Vadheim.
So it does have notation on it.
Is this clearer for you?
