1977 Land Rover 101 Forward Control Survival Truck

The Land Rover 101 Forward Control was designed in the Cold War for one job: hauling the British Army's L118 Light Gun, plus a ton of shells and kit, over any terrain. The Army is said to have wanted a truck small enough to fly in a cargo plane, so engineers placed the cab over the front axle, tucked a 3.5-liter Rover V8 behind it, and named the truck for its 101-inch wheelbase. Locking differentials and four-wheel drive pulled it through mud, the body panels reportedly came off for helicopter lifts, and some chassis ended up as ambulances and radio trucks. About 2,650 were built by 1978 and many served into the 1990s. Private buyers could get them only as military surplus, and civilians today drive them as survival trucks, like this 1977 truck, which sold at auction.
