Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes

[74 C-30]

here something different, i've always loved these old Roadless Traction converted Land Rovers

Roadless Traction Limited built this Land Rover at the request of the Canadian Forestry Service in 1963 and 1964. This high clearance 109 was capable of crossing ditches, drains, boulders, logs or whatever. It was shod in 10 X 28 inch tractor tires and had a mechanical winch for recovery and handling timber.

Notice how this Land Rover has different width axles. The wider front axle allows it to steer, and the rear wheels, on a normal width axle, do not follow in the front wheels tracks, improving traction. There are only eight of these vehicles still known to survive.
