    If you look near the LHS dumb iron between the front tracks, you can see what looks like a hydraulic ram. So it was either power assisted steering or full hydraulic steering.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    This is the S2 one at the Land rover meusem in UK.


    This is the steering.



    It appears to have a hydrulic pump on the RHS of the engine, follow the lines from the cylinders.

    it occurs to me that why would they make this conversion to a land-rover? Yes why would they?
    It must have been horrendously expensive and the engineering design a real headache for the mechanical engineers!
    One well placed rocket or armour piercing shell would have made it a dead duck to say the least.
    Even a slap with a back issue of "land rover International" would have disabled it.
    In the mining industry they would have gone for an ex military vehicle or something practical l!
    Anyway the pictures are A1 and the post very interesting, so thanks amegio for the pictures......
