LAND ROVER FORWARD CONTROL


Engine cc        :  2.6 petrol  
During the early 1980s, the Ministry of Defence in Britain announced a contract to replace its ageing land rover 101 gun tractors. The new vehicle would have to be capable of hauling the heavy filed gun and carrying up to two tones of ammunition and supplies cross country. There was no way that Land Rover was going to ignore this new, potentially lucrative opportunity to sell more vehicles to the British army.
The problem was that it didn’t have a vehicle that could do the job. The company’s fertile drawing board department was given the task of coming up with something quickly and preferably not too expensive to develop, either. In the past, this had meant rearranging as many existing components as possible and the Forward Control project was no different in this regard, apart from one major exception the cab.
