Not a lot of these about. Could be finished to a very high standard.
What do you all think of it.
I love it.

When I see these trucks, especially the 1st one, why is it I always think of this classic WW2 Film. "Ice Cold in Alex"

Looks like something the Americans are sending to the Ukraine, novelty would soon wear off when your trundling down the motorway at 50 mph feeling like your in a washing machine and chucking fuel at it like its a space shuttle.

I Ton LR Ambulance they were renowned for their unreliability, remember them well in my early army days.
It was a happy happy day when I carried out the disposal inspections on our fleet of 1 Ton Ambulances and took a 1 for 1 exchange with the new Landrover wolf ambulances, I probably swiped 500 hours of maintenance from the forecast, plus they came with the warranty, so dropped off at the German Landrover dealership for repair work šŸ‘šŸ»

Having had to run a fleet of them in the army, Iā€™d say itā€™s lovely to look at, but Iā€™d never want to own or drive one again šŸ˜
Agreed. We had quite a few in the Air Force. 3.5 litre petrol engine, high centre of gravity, which meant that inexperienced drivers tended to turn them over. Useless cross country until we found the right tyres - surprising the difference it made. Lovely to look at, takes loads of kit, but wouldn't want to own one.
(What I really would like is a lightweight).
