LAND ROVER SET

The Land Rover series I, II, and III (commonly referred to as series Land Rovers, to distinguish them from later models)

 

The Series II was introduced in 1958, the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department. Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar 'barrel side' waistline to cover the vehicle's wider track and the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof

 

The Series IIA followed in 1961 with only minor cosmetic changes, Body configurations available from the factory ranged from short-wheelbase soft-top to the top-of-the-line five-door station wagon. A 2.25-litre Diesel was added to the engine line, which after 1967 included a 2.6-litre inline six cylinder petrol engine for the long-wheelbase models, which also had servo-assisted brakes. From February 1969 (home market), the headlamps moved into the wings on all models, and the sill panels were redesigned to be shallower a few months afterwards.

Redesigned in 2018 from the ground up, one of the latest Jeep Wranglers for 2021 is a plug-in electric variant dubbed the 4xe to bring the American icon up-to-speed with green energy expectations. As the proud owner of three prior Wranglers, and my current 2016 Unlimited, I enjoy the “spirit of adventure” Wranglers offer and the unequivocal go-anywhere and self-assurance they present. And now, I can partake in Jeep group activities with more planetary consciousness.

 

The ZiL-131 is a general purpose 3.5 ton 6x6 Military Truck designed in the Soviet Union, it was developed from a commercial ZiL-130 4x4 Cargo Truck, which was produced in large numbers. Production of the ZiL-131 commenced in 1966, it replaced the previous ZiL-157. Production ceased in 1994 with nearly 1,000,000 of these Trucks produced. It was widely used by the Soviet Military.

The ZIL-130 / 131 was in production at the ''AMUR'' truck plant (as the AMUR 531340) with both gasoline and diesel engines, until 2012 when AMUR shut down and filed for bankruptcy.

Cargo area is covered with bows and canvas cover, the Unit can also tow Trailers or Artillery Pieces with a maximum weight of 8,818lb off-road and 14,330lb on hard surface roads. The all-metal cab of this truck provides seating for the driver and two passengers. The ZiL-131 is powered by a V8 petrol Engine, developing 150hp, the engine is coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox, driving a permanent All-Wheel Drive, however the front axle can be disconnected on hard surface roads.

It is also used as a chassis for the ''Grad-1 Artillery Rocket System'' later replaced by an improved variant, the ZiL-131N, introduced in 1986. In 1995 a new ZiL-4334 was proposed as a replacement of the ZiL-131N. A small number of these Trucks are in service with the Russian Army.

The British manufacturerd FV1119 Leyland Martian 10 ton Six Wheel Drive Recovery Truck was one of a series of highly specialised trucks developed by Leyland Motors during the late 1940's for Military use and incorporated a number of standardised components. The Recovery Vehicle was intended to be used for frontline recovery work and to complement the hard-pressed Scammell Recovery Vehicles already in service in the late 1950's. The Leylands appeared in service in the early 1960's and only a handful would seem to have survived to the mid 1990's, one of the last reportedly in Hong Kong. The truck was the first British Army Breakdown Vehicle to incorporate a pedestal mounted rotating crane as its main lifting device. The Martian also fulfilled the role of an Artillery Tractor fitted with a crewcab for 12 Gunner's, and also came as a General Service Vehicle, carrying supplies and ammunition.
