Correct.
There are a few in Australia. There is one for sale at the moment I think.

Awesome vehicle they are, too. I was taken up and down a VERY steep track in one 10 months ago. It's something on my 'wish' list.

Hello from Brisbane,

Military "lightweight" designed to be air transportable back in the late 60s - narrower body than the Series 2/3 models and able to be stripped down to almost a running chassis.

Became redundant with heavy lift aircraft.

Cheers,

Thanks guys I was a little unsure. the only reference I spied was to a military police vehicle but that was just a photo in a mag somewhere

Most likely one of the batch that were sold off from Brunei around 1999/2000, cheers Dennis:angel:

A few came out of Hong Kong as well, including mine. Drifter feel free to come round and have a look if you are so inclined, noting of course it is the process of being restored.

And it's a pretty schmick restoration, too. I'd love to see it. Further, I'd love to see it participating in some of our Series events.
