    Ex-Army truck on my driveway! Makes a UniMog look positively luxurious...

    Just took delivery of this (for a friend who is making a Movie). Makes those mamby-pamby unimogs that the army is getting rid of look like luxo wagons.

    This one's got heaps of airconditioning and the rear drive looks 'interesting':


    It is 97 years old, and I think it is an Alvis.

    Twin chain rear drive. The dashboard is a full side to side fuel tank, with no instruments or indicators or anything. Basic as.

    And a Toyota badge on the front so it doesn't break down on the shoot.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    So it saw service in the Australian Army?
    Now I'm really impressed. Wish it was in my driveway.
