If so, what do you make of this;
It's based on a 1983 Range Rover. There were (& still are) plenty of SII, SIII & Defender based, weapon equipped Land Rovers but I've never seen a RR based one. LR did design a desert patrol RR but the weapon mount was in the rear.
Anyone know of conversions like this one?

This just a guess, but that may have been an improvised field modification.

Yep, it's quite likely to have been done locally. But... LR have built so many weird one-offs that it could also be a factory vehicle. They did design at least one type of desert patrol RR but it wasn't the same as this thing. The mount seems a bit too substantial for anything the locals would've made...... I'd have expected them to just tie a .50 cal on with a bit of string (and then be surprised when it fell off). I do wonder if it was built by LR as a demonstrator for the BDF but they didn't buy them.Tom Clayton wrote:This just a guess, but that may have been an improvised field modification.
There are a few around. IIRC one of them came up for sale about a year ago. Have a trip to one of the big LR shows & look for a guy called Barry Pocock, he's got enough pinkies to start a war!jonesey2k wrote:Heh, Id love to get my hands on an ex-sas pinkie or dinky

I was thinking a similar thing...... well, that it would be an interesting thing for driving around Bahrain. (where they make the drivers in Lagos look good....... especially the t**t of a policeman who drove into my RR a couple of weeks ago)TobyV wrote:That would be handy for driving around Liverpool would it?
