Exert-  example was delivered to the Omani military and used as a supply vehicle for some ten years. After its withdrawal it was acquired by Land Rover with three others, the intention being to upgrade them to 6x6 heavy duty trucks. Ricardo was contracted to carry out the work but the project never progressed beyond initial trials and only one vehicle was completed and still survives. Of the other three one is known to have gone to Costa Rica, one was scrapped and ours is the remaining one, which was also destined to be scrapped before we stepped in to save it.



Any others a long way from home? The  The Dunsfold Collection looks great. If this has been posted before forgive me.
