    In a edition of land rovers owners monthly about the middle of last year they had an article on a land rover farm ute prototype (it was more quad bike than 1 toner)with a central chassis swivel. The pro type was a while ago

    I'm away and don't have the article at hand, but from memory you could lock the swivel. The trick was having the drive shaft and swivel centres centres line up.

    The journos drove it - very impressive articulation. It never went into production as lr due to perceived limited sales

    How cool is that and what a great write up I wonder how much it sold for ??


    .......Today it presents as an incredible piece of off-roading equipment with awesome patina and the ability to go virtually anywhere on Earth.....

    It'd be a cool jigger to duck down to the shop for a loaf of bread or bottle of milk. Even better to take to Westfield for the weekly shop.

    The asking price was $19,900.00 which is reasonable considering how rare they are
