3 things that jump out at me with that chassis pic that I like are #1, the location of the engine and its relation to the front axle. #2 the drive for each rear axle rather than a thru drive and #3 the cross bracing in the chassis itself.

A couple of things jump out at me I don't like about that chassis:

• It's leaf sprung non load sharing.
• Narrow series track width.
• Difficulty in using a Defender PAS box.
• There is no differential between the middle and rear axles, making a 6X4 selectable 6X6 or maybe 6X2 selectable 6X4/6X6.

We can do better than that these days.
