**Also testing image posting...
So while browsing some adventure riding ride reports on
http://www.advrider.com, I saw this
197x 712 getting the proper weight-limit exploration treatment. I think this was somewhere in Kenya...

ummmmmm.....not sure about the colour scheme.
Must be designed that way to blend in with the wildlife !!

DHL ships worldwide
Seriously though, I don't know of a local supplier, even though current patent owner (BAE) has a presence in South Africa. Something I guess I'll explore more if/when I venture into ownership/restoration.

The licence is for the TD Pinzes...BAE bought Armor Holdings, who bought Stewart and Stevenson, who bought ATL (Automove Technik Ltd) that bought the Turbo Diesel Pinz licences from SDP.... check your game card....BAE isn't doing too well with some of these brand names... the last "big" order of Pinzes were the Kiwis ( before S&S purchase)... the S&S contracts for the FMTVs went to Oshkosh in 2010.
