The 2018 Hyundai Kona design story is a representation of the routine of an urban adventurer while the key styling techniques are reflective of the topography of Hawaii's Kona island. While driving we began to appreciate the region much deeper and was thankful for elements that make life easy like pure foods, daily fitness and straightforward automotive lifestyle technologies.

Quite a Can-Am utility vehicle!

In 1942 the Ford GPA ''Seep'' was first designed to transport soldiers to and from offshore ships but it couldn't handle the force of the waves despite the front shield. Instead it was used for crossing rivers in a reconnaissance role but performed poorly on land so production ended in 1943 and survivors are now rare.

The controls are similar to those of a Jeep with the addition of two PTP levers, one for the propeller and one for the bilge pump. The rudder is connected to the steering linkage and it has an engine driven anchor capstan. The seat cushions were intended to double as life preserves.

After military service the Museum's example came from the Channel Islands were it was used for rides on the beach. It required extensive restoration and is now in working order.

AKTIV SNOW TRAC ST4 TRACKED CARGO VEHICLE -

A light heli-portable over-snow vehicle for use in NATO's northern flank of Norway. It proved ideal for use under the Wessex Mk.V and early Sea King helicopters.

This example (which was last seen at the Norfolk Tank Museum flic.kr/p/2mx5SfL ) has chassis No. 1905 and was built in 1975 in Sweden, it weighs half a ton, has a maximum speed of 21mph, and an endurance of eight hours on a full tank of fuel. The Volkswagon 1600cc engine is mated to a modified gearbox, incorporating variable-radius pulley (variator) connected by a rubber belt on the drive shafts for steering. As the steering wheel is turned, one pulley opens and the other one closes, causing one drive shafts to speed up and the other to slow down, thus making the vehicle turn. It is painted in its original ''Artic Livery'' for operations with 45 Commando, Royal Marines.

This vehicle was donated to the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum by the Royal Marines Museum, Southsea, in April 2003, and then restored to full working order by Phillip Chatfield, son of Major John Chatfield R.M, as inspector of motor transport, he was responsible for the selection, trials and introduction of the type to the Royal Marines in late 1969.
