It is sad to see these classics rusting away!

They sent out a tender that was to be received by July 22, only 11 days later! Manufacturers were given 49 days to submit their first prototype and 75 days for completion of 70 test vehicles.

The most daunting demand, however, was an empty weight of no more than 1300 lb (590 kg)…

Kind of the opposite of our article last week about the Singpore To UK In A Willys , we now have some videos about a group of two Land Rovers travelling from London to Singapore.

Last week we posted photos of the ex Rod Hall 70’s Desert Race Ford Bronco. Thanks to Classic Broncos.com member rhenrys68, we have some more! They have done a great restoration in such a short amount of time!

Here is an interesting old Jeep Gladiator truck.
