Re-In(ter)Vention!
Mick Bird owns this rather splendid, original hybrid of a TACR2/Discovery and Commando 6x4. Some really nice photos from Mick Bird who owns this beast!This vehicle is now for sale on e bay. A nice project for someone to complete? Here is the rundown on it from e bay:
LAND ROVER / RANGEROVER
CARMICHAEL COMMANDO 6 WHEEL
PROJECT
THIS IS FOR A VERY HIGH SPEC
6 WHEEL PROJECT
IT WAS GOING TO BE BUILT AS AN AIRPORT FIRE TENDER
THE FIRM THAT STARTED BUILDING IT HAS NOW GONE OUT OF BUISNESS
BUT HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME & MONEY ON THIS PROJECT
ENGINE JUDGING BY THE REST OF THE BUILD IT HAS PROBABLEY BEEN RECONDITIONED BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD IT RUNNING
I BELEIVE THAT IT IS A PERKINS 3.3 DIESEL ENGINE MARRIED TO A LT77 GEARBOX THE TRANSFER BOX IS FASTERNED TO IT AS IS THE PROPSHAFTS THE FRONT AXEL HAS BEEN RECONDITIONED ALONG WITH THE SWIVELS NEW SHOCKERS & DAMPERS
THE CHASSIS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ALL NEW BRAKE PIPES
REAR AXELS DISC BRAKES ALL ROUND THE FIRST ONE IS DRIVEN THE SECOND ONE IS THE FOR THE WEIGHT BOTH HAVE NEW SPRINGS & NEW SHOCKERS FITTED ALL NEW BRAKE PIPES ETC
ALL NEW BLUE HEAVY DUTY POLY BUSHES
I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE AS MANY PICTURES AS I CAN FOR YOU TO SEE THE QUALITY OF THE BUILD IT HAS A RANGEROVER BODY ON AT THE MINUTE BUT WOULD ACCEPT A LAND ROVER BODY IT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT CAMPER OR EXPEDITION VEHICLE IT IS EXACTLY AS YOU SEE IT NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS.
Footnote: 23/5/06. From the build number it appears to be the remains of 10 AY 13?
