The quad is gone........long live the Alvis Supacat :)

 

 

Ex British Army, last saw service in Afghanistan, retired in 2010.

 

6 wheel drive, VW 1.9 TDI engine/auto box, front four wheels steer conventionally, plus it has skid steer.

 

Very light on the ground due to the flotation tyres.

 

There's a winch under the cover behind the seat in case I have to rescue anyone (or myself redface.gif).

mint and about £10k second hand looked at them before top speed 40 mph would be pain on road though

 

£10k? I wish........You won't even get an ex Witham vehicle that needs a lot of work for that :(

 

Does it swim David?

 

Yes. Around 700mm wade depth, then it floats. It has two bilge pumps, as the hull can't be 100% watertight. Outboard on the tailgate, and away you go ;)

 

nice motor :good: ,but i like things that keep the weather out......................and a heater.

 

The radiator and oil coolers are under your seat. I was out on my quad in -15 last year, it's better than that :D
