Thread: There is a 6x6 Range Rover Carmichel here.

can I ask how you know its a 6x6? assuming your talking about the RR to the right of the truck

Theres always some one!!!!!!!

Ok I maybe wrong but some how i dont think iam.

Front mounted Pump, is the first indication of this being a 6x6, as far as i know they never made a 4x4 fire truck, as the extra long chassie of the 6x6 was need for the water/foram tanks, I think the Carmichael TACR came with out a front pump??? Its also a 3 door Commando, again never made as a 4x4.

Yes, it is a 6x6, I have a beter photo of it ... somewhere.

No I don't know any more details, although I think it is WA Based.

Other members of this forum know more details about it.

Hi there

Sorry you did ask before......but have recently uploaded pictures.

It was in WA - but last I heard the owner was moving to SA, but have lost contact with him.

Its a strange one as the pump on most 6x6's were on the rear, but this one is driven of the front of the engine........

The second unit was advertised some tiem ago on e-bay - in New Zealand but the asking price was a high and no one bidded.

Well enjoy pictures...






New Zealand.....

Google Maps '70 ramsgate road sans souci', select street view and then arrow left until you are looking north - there lies "Lady Penelope" - formerly of a North Coast Shire Council and for the last ten (ish) years a billboard for Peace Love and Mung beans.

Many times I have driven past and wished I had somewhere to park her.

Would love something like that as a toy.
As said the one in NZ had too high a reserve price. My Boss at the time would not let me buy it for the ERT fleet.
