Nick Johns Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Request from another forum.....[ATTACH=CONFIG]51346[/ATTACH] Its an Autocars Dragoon, originally a Triumph Pony, designed and built by the Triumph Car Company in the 1960's, using a modified front wheel drive gearbox from the Triumph 1300, to make a 4wd system, they had no success in selling the idea to the Military and with the incorporation of Triumph into British Leyland the project was shelved so they sold the rights to the Autocars company who produced it as a cheap 4wd utility vehicle.

Tony B Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Didn't the Israli's take it on? It's the same vintage as the Moke and Austin Ant. The brief was for a light 4x4 capable of being lifted by the helicopters of the time. Eh , answer my own question. Autocar was an Israli company http://9700vc.blogspot.com/2008/10/4wd-triumph.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
