  • What do they call?

    What do they call the lunchbox shaped mod vehicles that are a little bit bigger than a 130 landy?

    They have independent suspension on both the front and back and I've seen them driven on the road with massive variation in their wheel camber angles again both front and back.

    They look a bit like this but smaller and with only 4 wheels.

        Military one is known as a 101 (for wheelbase).

            The one in your pic isn't a Landy. It's called a Pinzgauer. Apache may be along shortly .................

                But you don't say " I have a land Rover Cab over Engine"

                They were known as "Land Rover Forward controls"

                Stop being picky.

                    They have live (Solid) axles, OP specified independant suspension in his question.
                    Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

                      They look a lot like the Forward Controls (the same size) but our local barracks still uses the ones I've seen, they have a solid body and the independent suspension. The angles I've seen the wheels at sometimes have been extreme. With the top of the wheels way further out than the hub and the bottom really tucked in, ready I suppose for a heavy load maybe.

                        I think the forward control was the series two which was made for the general public and grossly underpowered. Once they got round to the series three (101 with the V8 Buick thing) they were purely military.
                        My brother had one, great fun but at between 8 and 12 to the gallon you wouldn't want to run one every day. He did and had his house repossessed.
                        As I recall these were leaf sprung all round.

                          There is always the forward control ones used in Judge Dredd.

                            Still Lame Rover based, so still solid axles.

                              I'm well out of date on military kit but could the OP be talking about the Reynolds Boughton ?
