Nice find, an early (1970-1977) Carmichael Commando airport crash tender.  |

Old enough to have the original permanent four-wheel drive system. Featured a two-speed dual range Land-Rover LT230T transfer case with manual center differential lock. The 4x4 system was of Land-Rover’s own design and also used in the Series III Stage-One and later, the Defender. The parking brake was built into the transfer case, such that all-four wheels were locked for parking on inclines. Six-wheeled Range Rovers were four-wheel drive with the third axleset being a support or load bearing axle and not powered (did not receive torque from the engine), sometimes called a "lazy" axle. Only one of these six-wheeled Range Rovers is known to have been converted to six-wheel drive. There may be others not documented. Very neat indeed. |

As Sandie's link, photos there show temporary undateable UK plate Q570 RRP, which shows on some check sites but only saying Range Rover 3528cc. |

It probably suggests that the Rangie originally carried an MOD registration. Q registrations of this configuration are issued to ex-MOD vehicles or when the date of manufacture isn't known for some reason, but they aren't temporary; they would be carried for the vehicle's lifetime. |
