mark powell Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I covered the build of my shorty Herald Pick-up on the C**b T*****h forum back in 2018 and it saw a reasonable amount of use until the end of 2019. 2020, however, like everything else, put the brakes on and has seen The Heep parked on the drive awaiting better times. A week off from work gave me the incentive to wake it up and get it in for MOT. So, fluid levels checked, trunnions oiled, tyre pressures checked, lights, horn, wipers etc checked... contact, ignition! A leisurely drive to my usual MOT man has seen a new MOT with an advisory to replace the 18 year old tyres.... Otherwise a clean bill of health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 The "jeep" is an intriguing picture?. Now what 4WD base vehicle?. Suzuki Rhino? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark powell Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just the 'standard' Herald underpinnings.. with a bit of artistic licence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yes, I assumed that. I just wondered what would fit or adapt, to create an actual 4WD?. I suspect something of the size of the Rhino, or its later, early Jimmny versions might?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they mention it on their website. Back in the days when our local club was more hands-on, I seem to remember someone trying to build a six-wheel Herald... must contact a few members and see what happened to it.
