The Mini Moke,i had one as my first car in 1968/69 i can even remember its Reg HPH 700C great fun that one has been fitted with larger wheels,they were used by some armys and were made in first the UK then AUS and later in Portugal it was so light at the back i never did manage to wear out the back tyres.

Me too. GMB 681C. Yellow. The one in the picture is the twin engined alledgedly air transportable version. NBG as ground clearance still lousy even with bigger wheels. Never did take off as military vehicle. Did 100K miles ish in mine (two engines, one gearbox, lots of welding) between 1970 and about 1978. Real hoot. But bloody freezing.

I'm sure it has armor protection, Not. It is the grunt who pays for his commanders mistakes.
