I was involved in the marketing of the Townley Cross Country 6x6 Land Rover to the Jordanian Armed Forces, it was shipped by truck and then presented to the JAF. I left Jordan and moved to Bahrain, one day it turned up!! The vehicle was designed to be the cheapest option for TOW missile, as the missile system and batteries could be accommodated on the vehicle as opposed to the options, which were two Jeeps or a Half Track, the LR was cheaper too.

I was in the RAF when they first introduced the Carmichael conversion 6x4 in the 70s ,within a couple of months they were put under restrictions because if the went round a corner to fast they fell over, due to the light water tank being set to high, the one at Machrihanish had to go back for modification so we ended up using the old Landrover fire truck till it came back.

Unique is a very specific word, from the Latin, literally meaning 'one only'. It takes no modification and any attempt to do so will be grammatically incorrect.

They actually made two Bel Aurens Longnose prototypes; they were based on late-60s Seies 2as, but were built in 2008. As others have said , "unique" is a superlative. I also think you meant "mortal coil" instead of "mortal earth".

Can the Cuthbertson variant² be "unique", if the rubber tank-track modification was available as a factory option? The slightly awkward narration bot wasn't given access to production or sales numbers¹ for this vid. If even half a dozen were made, then it's not as rare as others in this list, much less unique. (¹ I've checked the linked vid about 7 interesting L.R.s, including the *Cuthbertson variant².* No production numbers there either.) (² Quite a mouthful - so how about we use the contraction, *Cu'nt* ? 🤓)
