On the good side---no punctures :angel:If you look near the LHS dumb iron between the front tracks, you can see what looks like a hydraulic ram. So it was either power assisted steering or full hydraulic steering.

There's a silhouette of a Cuthbertson in the header for the Aulro site.

Lots of info on the www......

it occurs to me that why would they make this conversion to a land-rover? Yes why would they?
It must have been horrendously expensive and the engineering design a real headache for the mechanical engineers!
One well placed rocket or armour piercing shell would have made it a dead duck to say the least.
Even a slap with a back issue of "land rover International" would have disabled it.
In the mining industry they would have gone for an ex military vehicle or something practical l!
Anyway the pictures are A1 and the post very interesting, so thanks amegio for the pictures......:clap2:

Tony,

[Landy Smurf]

well one is to own a s1, s2, s3, s3 stage 1, county, defender
be a primary school teacher
to be with someone that makes me happy and that i make happy and they accept me for me
and to not smoke or take any drugs that are illegal.
that is about it at the moment

Tony,
I think that those positive attitudes are what every Parent, Father, Mum, Dad, uncle and aunt would wish for.
Including 99.99 % of AURO members.
They are simple and achievable goals and I'm sure that you will adhere to them, no matter what.
Makes me feel proud of you and I'm sure the rest of our special community.
thank you for sharing your aspirations with us all....:thumbsup:
We will be here to offer assistance and advice when ever you need it....Yeaaaaaaa

I think they were designed for bomb disposal teams to cross boggy ground, locate and destroy. There is a modern version out too for snowy areas.

I cant make out the plate...european or african?

i say african as the background looks sort of african... so somewhere on african continent is my guess but really no idea...(now youll say it is dubbo zoo or something!!)

(I like the top though looks good)

[Disco1Newbee]

The plates are from Johannesburg, South African.

Enjoy, EasoIn the 1980's when Range Rover sponsored Skiing at Guthega JRA had a 4 door RRc out here fitted with a similar design.

That sign is a classic, could easily be applied to the roads on the Mid North Coast, especially Taree.
Series one is makes the scene authentic, not sure about the trailer though, needs to look older and less new.
Great picture, thanks for sharing....:D
