6 MORE UNIQUE LAND ROVERS! (PART 2)

[@rickpeters1626]

Gotta love the elephant mobility scooter!

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

It does rather look like that, doesn't it haha!

[@arthurdent2900]

I remember a newspaper photo of an elephant Land Rover was pinned on the wall behind the counter of John Craddock's shop. We were both members of the Staffs & Shrops LRC back in the 70s.

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

That's so cool to hear!

[@trueaussie9230]

In 1996 I saw something like that at a garage in the Scots highlands. Bright yellow with 'forestry' signage. With it was a Landy on tank tracks. Still no mention of the Aussie designed and built Perentie. 🤔

[@johnwanjala4311]

The first one my favourite

[@davyfella]

Fall down the rabbit hole of the various variants made by Pirentie for the Australian military.

[@TheGreatSteve]

That farmer's friend looks great.

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

We are loving the love for the Farmers Friend!

[@Andrew-so3vj]

Have seen a 110 In Vanuatu (SouthWest Pacific) set up as a field welding vehicle, with a "LandRover" badged welder mounted between the front seats. presumably belt driven from the dropbox. Very vetsatile!

[@lesklower7281]

Definitely the one built for the forestry dept. those tractor wheels so good

[@davyfella]

Or the Land Rover Llama. A forward control Defender with a fibreglass cab sat over the front axle

[@chriswalker4272]

Another great short thanks. I don't suppose BMW wanted Land Rover for innovation like the farmers friend. Because they wanted to make their own X5 competitor to the Rangy.

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@meirionevans5137]

Dutch or Belgian military had 2wd LRs as radio cars. Transfer box ran the generator rather than 4wd

[@sackvilleweldingservices]

The glory days of Land Rover in my opinion. The SMOMOT Land Rover forage harvester. Single Machine One Man One Team. Find one of them if you can!

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

We will try our best to look into that vehicle!

[@wordreet]

Heck! Now I wonder is I could convert one of my RC Landies to a special!?

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

Anything is possible!

[@wordreet]

@@FamousFourProductsLtd True enough!

[@andrewupton8910]

An X plate 6 wheel drive land rover farm vehicle with an aluminium flat bed body. Used for spraying with a 40 foot boom, for water carrying with a 2000 litre bowser and micro granular spreader. Drive for the equipment was by direct drive of a hydraulic motor from the front crank. The sixth axle was driven by a transverse gearbox off the middle axle. Driven by a 2.2 diesel with a turbo. This was adapted by a company from Trumpet in Herefordshire. I have no picture, sorry

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

This sounds rather interesting, thanks for the info, we will have a look and see if we can find anything!

[@davidblackburn6569]

how about dormabile and carawagon conversions

[@arthurdent2900]

or Judge Dreed 101

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

They'd definitely make it onto a cool conversions list, however there are just a few too many out there to make the unique list. If you want us to make a conversions video, we would definitely look into it!

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

@arthurdent2900 great shout, we've mentioned it before in a video, and if the demand is there for a part 3, it's a very strong contender!

[@trueaussie9230]

In Aus I've seen more than one camper/'dormobile'.

[@BrianM0OAB]

Blimey I'm famous now lol

[@BrianM0OAB]

Would a fifth ( 5th ) wheel Land Rover count as unique ?

[@FamousFourProductsLtd]

There are a fair few 5th wheel Land Rover's out there so sadly we wouldn't call them unique, but they are certainly different!

[@BrianM0OAB]

@@FamousFourProductsLtd Yeah that was what I thought, recall seeing a series 2 5th wheel but not looked to see if any more where made.

[@andrewgreen7778]

You obviously don't know the meaning of the word unique.
