Sounds ideal for residents of London...

The armour on Snatch land rovers sucks. There was the whole thing about soldiers being killed in IED attacks because the armouring wasn't significant enough on them. The Tangi land rover is what you want for a fully armoured car.

That and a few angry polar bears leashed to the side would do me nicely in London.

I'd rather have the Jag:

P.A. and Intercom System
Front and Rear Strobe Lights
Siren with Whoop and Wail Facility

Guide price...anyone have any idea how close these go for against this?

Quite tempted by this @ £4.5k http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/,37,/34092/FV_432_MK_2.htm

You might get 2 gallons to the mile if you're fortunate.

Was it Top Gear or similar where a presenter got driven around in one. The bloke who owned it said it did something like 2MPG and cost £400 to fill the tank. Not sure I could handle that!

Pretty sure they are road tax and mot exempt as well.

Drove one of those older type army/safari sort of Land Rovers last week.

I felt like I'd done a days work. The gear levers atrocious and the handbrakes almost on the floor!!
