Thread: Weird And Wonderfull Old Army Land Rover Pictures.

Great collection of photos, Juddy.

Some rippers there!!! Where did you get them all from?

The first one is one of the APGP's (Air Portable, General urpose). It was amphibious using a few big brackets and some inflatable rubber bags!

A rare pic of the 3.0L Lightweight guntractor as well a few down, and I love the one of the perentie prototype and the centaur halftrack!

that last one of the LRPV must be a PR photo with the twin MG and LHD!

Yes shows the diversity of Land Rover capability even if 7 of the pics were not strictly military and many/most of the Fire Engine appliances were also civilian and aviation variants.

P.A. Blanchard have a Centaur for sale if you want only about $32,000.00



Or maybe an Alvis Stalwart is more your cuppa! Only about $10,000.00 (Alvis was part of the Rover Company at the time.)

I've been eyeing of that centaur every time I buy a lottery ticket

All of these Land rovers were evaluated by the MOD, many were just one of prototypes, The Fire Engines as you say were both used by the milatry and the private sector..

Light weight 93 KA 66 was a Gloster Saro modification, with over -sized Goodyear Wrangler dumper tyres, intended for use in the Falklands.

The Centaur, by all accounts did not sell too well, only 7/8 ever made, 2 went to the Oman Gov in 1978, other than one based on the 110 Defender chassis. all were based on the stage One.

I love the Stalwart, now that would be very cool to have over here...
