Did they make these 4 wheel drive purely to spare it the indignity of being a FWD Jaaaaaaag?

Most of them were front drive. 2.5 and 3.0 were AWD, diesels and 2.1 petrol were front drive

Must be tough 4x4 systems they use, those V10 trucks have torque forever

I think they essentially put the front end of an F-250 pick in there. Body on frame van so easy enough.

Are you sure it was one of the FF Police ones, I’m sure I remember reading that none were released to the public with only the TRRL one surviving.

Only 20 were made with that one being the only survivor, I think one EST was done too.

It was at least 25 years ago my dad's mate had it, having spoken to his daughter she said the one he had was registration FUP 820H.  Last taxed 2001 and has an export marker on it, I think it went to Australia after he owned it.
