Well, it was on last week at £5,500 with a reserve not met.
Unsurprisingly there were no bids.

As for the chassis, I havn't seen the article in LRM, but my guess it
that it's an original Sandringham or LRSV 6x6, they did make several
Stage1 V8 6x6's

This is one of customers vehicles. The rearmost axle is a standard
one fitted upside down with an extra propshaft comming from
a "splitter" box (for want of a better word) off the transfer
box - i.e. the usual arrangement for "factory" 6x6 Series vehicles.

We couldn't find any sinage to say who built it, but is it
a very professional piece of kit. It's probably not possible to
actually get any more toys on it!

so what springs are on it? they look shorter than standar rears. one of
the bugbears of trying to do leaf-sprung 6x6s is the length of the rear
springs, although it occurs to me that if you sling one set under the
chassis same as the front ones...

I'll have to have a look - I seem to remember it was 4x sort ones,
set up for recoverey rather than off-road.
