Forest Rover info needed

[island dormy]

Hi Guys

I have had someone contact me through the Forest Museum in Duncan (where I volunteer) wanting information about the "Forest Rover Model"" that Land rover briefly built in the early 1960s.
It was a very strange looking Land rover with tires maybe 50 inches tall. It was supposedly purchased by the BC government for working in the bush.
I think Ike Goss from Pangolin 4x4 now owns it but this person is looking for information about it before he became the new owner.
So..........anybody know anything about this rover?

Thanks Victor

Hi Stuart

Thats the model all right.
I think we are still planning to meet up at the doghouse restaurant in Duncan on Sunday the 4th at 7:30 am and drive down in a group to the Sanichton acres British car show and swap meet, its a fun event, lots to see at Sanichton acres besides lots of cute little British cars and Landrovers.
