Vulture Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Chaps Spotted this fabulous armoured Jeep at the Ramsey 1940 weekend last month. Anyone know what they are like to drive ? I presume they are quite rare ? Kind regards to all Vulture (Currently pissed off with the wet weather that is preventing me from changing stuff on the 352) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The armoured hull is very unlikely to be original so build your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIL157 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I agree, bet yer life that this is a relatively recent mock up on a lengthened chassis. Those water outlet vents are a bit Mahindra-esque ! Nice to see something different. Edited September 17, 2013 by ZIL157 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I am pretty sure that Jeep is the one this forum member build http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?23988-Armourerdoug-new-member!&highlight=armoured+jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Having driven a Makrolon-plated armoured FFR Land rover in NI, my guess is that the steering is incredibly light with all that extra weight on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armourerdoug Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 that's the armoured jeep built by forum member armourer doug a couple of years back and now sold on,it is Mahindra based and a fair copy of the t25 prototypes built but never put into production Yep, I built that on the chassis of a mahindra military jeep, it was bought in to the UK by a British army major when he left India , I sold it to my mate almost a year ago and took it to Normandy and war and peace, we also took it to slouches last September , I am halfway through a 1945 jeep now. It was built for WW2 Airsoft games so I modified it slightly from the original pics of the T25's that were built in 41/42. It was a fun projects and drives so well with the overdrive I fitted:-) Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
