I've been trying to find some info on BBC web pages about the new apc's the army are going to be getting to replace the snatch vechicles in iraq.
While looking though I found this

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/5210222.stm

and this on the replacements for the snatch vechicles

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5210788.stm

Great to see that the MOD are looking at sorting an obvious problem but would be nice to of seen them going for a british product for at least one of the replacements

smo:
JCB have a new line of milly vehicles for all sorts of applications, it wouldnt supprise me if in a year or two we dont see a fair few of them with our troops.

Pinzgauer became a British product in 2000, when the rights to the vehicle were acquired by Automotive Technik Holdings Ltd. OK, they were taken over by an American company in 2005, but production is still in the UK - so basically as British as LR.
