Thornycroft?

grobmotorix · February 02, 2011, 01:00:28 AM

LOCKED for you. It is (partly) a Thornycroft.

Another company has been involved - and who´s made the engine?

Wendax · February 02, 2011, 03:05:24 AM

Couldn't find exactly the same car, but the most similar lead me to the guess that it is a Thornycroft Nubian Major 6x6 chassis with crash tender bodywork and equipment by Pyrene (the type name being somewhere between Mk7 and Mk101?) . The Nubian Major usually featured a big Cummins Diesel engine.

grobmotorix · February 02, 2011, 04:16:39 AM

You´ve come very close, but this is a one-off prototype with a special engine.

Tell me the name of the engine maker and the point is yours.

I do not think that anybody will be able to find the rest of the information....
