Land Rover 101 Forward Control

This little critter is a really good Land Rover Defender and Humvee alternative for beginning UK players. Now, it was sold off in the early 1990s but with storm clouds gathering I think GMs and players could make a case for it being kept on.

Of course, you would probably wonder why you'd want a clapped-out old mid 1970s truck but this really isn't the case. It seems the MoD had a large amount of these trucks and the vast majority of them spent nearly all their time in storage. Even today you can easily get them with only a few thousand kms on them. This of course begs the question "why did the MoD get rid of these perfectly good vehicles?" The answer seems to be that the MoD had and still has the habit of doing some strange things. (A classic case would be ditching and rebuying the ATMP 6x6 Supacat three times . . . )

Anyway, it's gorgeous and should be in your game. Paul Mulcahy of course has stats for it under "Land Rover 1000 kg Truck".
