Exceptionally rare Land Rover Centaur Military Half Track P6

In general: Land Rover was half Stage1 and half light tank. The front end was all Solihull's finest but the rear was a shortened version of the Scorpion light tank tracked bogie. The resulting half-track had a very high payload and formidable off-road potential but didn't attract military orders, so the project was stopped in 1980.



Engine V8 petrol 3.5 litre 132 bhp at 5000rpm, 185 lbft at 2500 Ignition: coil, 12 Volts Differentials 3, positive lock on inter axle differential.
