Handsome those, I have been watching them for a while. Defiantly a gap in the market since they stopped making a decent Syncro Transporter

Not a mention of VW inspired pick up design..........next they'll be telling us they won WWII single handed

Looks like a blinged-up Landy Series 2B from here...

Only more reliable, less cramped, quieter, better on fuel and not in need of constant maintenance !
Your right there is a gap in the market for a forward control.
I have been driving a hilux for the past few days towing my big trailer and thinking how good it was. The Syncro supposedly is not up to towing so I thought Landrover, but bolt lancruiser running gear and engine in....my SA mate said it had been done, and was still a cramped noisy bag of crap. So there is only the Jeep as a current contender to my mind.

Nope, still looks like a sherpa.

Separated at birth?

Front end off a 3741

I prefer the old school doka in the vid.

Like a lot of concept vehicles: how are you supposed to climb in? No articulated steps, no grab handles, not even wheel hub extensions like a 101...

You really think that a GM-built truck like this will be more reliable than a Series Landy? Clockwork meccano vs. too much plastic and sensors everywhere?

Place your bets!

PS then read this

Plus it's got a 300 bhp V6 petrol engine that is rev-tastic:

FC Jeeps have been around since 1956 so nothing new there ......

Caught these in France last year

Brand loyalty blinkers... VW didn't invent the wheel you know! You've got to have been around a bit to appreciate the fact, eh Andrew?

Absolutely! Experience accounts for everything and time filters the nonsense! There are so many enthusiastic, busy and energetic fools about!
