I think they currently have around 20 or so of them at the moment.
The Germans sent a small detachment last year up to high range (or was it the year before?) I recall seeing one of these up there... but that was for their own purposes. If you go through the pictures, theres a 6X6 version in dual cab and single cab, single cab tray back and the wagen. 2more versions which remain unlisted. SAS maybe?

ummm a variant that is not listed is a mortar variant, and you can pretty much guarantee that there will be a mortar 6x6 variant, well there has to be. also a command variant isn't listed and i would say they should have one of those. yeh we got shown them up at high range middle of last year during an exercise.
what im worried about is this is a great vehicle fully kitted out but just like the bushmasters other country's will buy them with all the gear. when we finally get them we have all the good stuff taken off and get stuck with the pov pack |

Yes i was referring to ours... issues with the "extras" comms etc... and the fact that it weights so much it cant be carried internally by a chook (whereas the 6X6 land cruiser can). Just the usual DMO stuff ups.... 100%snafu....

I have seen around town plenty of the early versions of the landrover (ex ADF, still in camo). Have seen a fully restored glossy green as well.
They are relatively simple vehicles and more or less bullet proof (except they lack a damned snorkle!)

I've just read elsewhere that the Army Landrovers (the current ones with the Isuzu motor) are unable to be registered on civvy street - is this true??

Don't forget a lot of the ADF's older (87-90) Landrovers are "Perentie's", based on the 110 but quite a different animal....

Is this type of vehicle what the Bendigo-built Hawkei was bidding for?
http://www.thalesgroup.com/Press_Rel...e_for_testing/ If so, that's pretty disappointing .. |
