Not the prettiest Fender, but certainly eyecatching!

Looks awesome, great find..... Looks like it was a Defender body swap onto a 6x4 Range Rover fire tender chassis.

Love the split windscreen... very retro

Think it belongs to a garage called Riverside All Terrain Services based in Boston.

It does look like a rebodied TACR2 range rover - 30 years ago my first day as a 16 year old apprentice coachbuilder was spent stripping a brand new Range Rover and chopping the chassis through behind the rear axle to make a TACR2, makes me feel old!

The majority of them were 4wd and the 3rd used as just an extra rear axle to carry the weight of the water/ foam for fire fighting. Some were converted to 6wd for grass runways though- one of them with a double cab body (extended load bed) would be awesome off-road.

Here is a genuine 6x6 Defender:

The rear table can be tipped. The vehicle is used regularly around a sheep property near Crookwell, NSW, Australia. The vehicle is a civilian Defender and not a military conversion of an Australian Army 6x6 Perentie. In the background, next to the tractor, is a Lightweight.

Cheers
