Hey all :)

Does anyone know, who saw the vehicle, what paint colour may have been used on what everyone was referring to as a "Wolf" (Barney will correct me on this I hope - for the second time because it went in one ear and out the other) at Expo this year?

I particularly like the darker green in the satin finish (smoother than matte, but not shiny) and will be looking to doing the S2A in it one day. If anyone is in the repair trade I'd love to know how to get hold of some.

TIA

Chris

British Army Land Rovers are militarised Defender 90s and 110s, and the high performance Wolf.
Designated the Trucks Utility Light (TUL) and Medium (TUM), Army Land Rovers carry a variety of crews, equipment and communication and information systems for commanders.
Some Wolf Land Rovers are winterised and waterproofed: a snorkel allows the vehicle to wade through water up to windscreen level and an engine fluids heater is fitted to pre-warm the engine – along with the other modifications to enable the vehicle and crew to operate in extreme conditions. Other vehicles are stripped down and fitted with roll cages and weapons mounts – the Weapons Mount Installation Kit (or ‘Wimik’) – for use as reconnaissance and close fire support vehicles. Typically the vehicle will carry one 12.7 mm Heavy Machine Gun and a 7.62 mm General Purpose Machine Gun.
Length 4.55 m
