Do you know what all the studs on the hull exterior were for?

Cool, thanks. JimK and I had thought maybe that was the answer (without the Venezuela bit!).
Looking forward to the rest of the pictures.

Do you mean there is only one V100 in private hands, or that particular variation?

Bill, this is a very early version of the V100.
Major items of note are the turret (look particularly at the area around the mantle, and the hatch angle), the squared off wheel wells, one-piece rear door, no side door for the engine bay, etc..
Detail differences would take all day to list.
Privately owned V100's can roughly be accounted for using the fingers and toes of one person, V's of this type with one finger.

I don't know the unit that ours came from. I do know that it hit an anti-tank mine blowing the front axle off of it and cracking the hull over the passengers side fuel tank. The unit was brought back to the states (as suprising as that is), repaired and used for years as a security vehicle at a nuclear facility in Nevada.

Very nice work indeed!
I notice that your V's and most others I see have the rear intercom box mounted on the back of the wheel well. In mine, the mount was actually on the rear hull wall, have you seen any others like that?
