Simon_CSK Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Driving along the M8 on Monday a 6 wheeled Discovery 2 joined the motorway and peaked my interest. Decided to follow to see if I could get some pictures. Saw a nice blond driving so decided not to follow further. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we parted at some traffic lights she gave it a rip and she punned away. I couldn't tell if it was a 6x6 or a 6x4 but from what I saw it looked well made with a flat bed at the back.

Bowie69 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Probably, but the potential for innuendo in this thread is so high that we had to say something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonimouse Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Annoyingly, I've got to the point in life where I see something like that and my second thought is legality. However when I see/smell a vehicle from pre '95 I smile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a truck cab and looked short on the wheel base somehow. Must have been built for a reason but I couldn't see advantages. Also it wasn't a pick up more a trayback.

Simon_CSK Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 More like this although the rear of the cab was a flat plate with no attempt at making interesting profiles. The bed was allot chequer plate and it didn't have the head board. And for some reason seemed shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one looks to me like they've added a bit to the wheelbase.... unless D2/D1 doors are a different length but I suspect not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 From memory D1 and D2 had the same wheel base although a completely different chassis. For the benefit of production I cannot see them remaking the doors and would suspect the doors to be interchangeable. The only difference in the doors I can think of is the 2 door variant of the D1 where you need a bigger door to access the rear seats.

Unlike the RRC, I don't think the 3-door doors were any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed they were the same as the RRC. Having looked at a comparision photo I can see I was wrong. Just proves when you assume you make an ass out of U and me.
