09 AY 43 - A New Life!
The recent sale of 09 AY 43 to a couple of friends in France has now turned up some information and pictures (thanks to member BrianM). It appears that it is now destined to become a support vehicle for the Paris-Dakar annual event. Wonder what they are doing with all those 'spare' bits? TRANSLATED: The new career of this TACR2A starts now. With the origin, it is Carmichael Truck-Airfield Crash landing Rescue 2a (version b) 6x4. It equipped the English airports in the event of problem of safety on planes.
The third axle only made it possible to increase the payload of the vehicle.
In its new version of vehicle of assistance rally, it will be completely altered, with a new engine, a new gear box and will be prepared in 6 driving wheels.
It should be said that the case is in good condition, but how mechanical side it is not terrible, its engine did not start since of the years, and it does not have any more a gear box!ALL PICS AND TEXT FROM http://www.oto6.fr
