    My dad built a 1956 SWB Soft Top one when I was a toddler. Was a 2200cc 4cyl Petrol. They have the turning circle of a large bus but I would still have a new one

    Dang, that things crazy! What're you planning to do to it?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    I'm planning on having some offroading and beach fun with it, looking a boss, and then selling it...

    Friend and I are going to try and seem if we can get a little import business going, this is our guinea pig!

    I do hope to eventually bring in a 110 and keeping it as i absolutely love these tanks!

    OMFG.

    totally badass.

    I told my wife I want one of these one day.

    I already have a 2001 disco se7.

    I'd give up most of the ef collection for one of these.

    finally got the truck about 1.5 weeks ago, it took flipping forever at Customs! but she is here in all her clunky glory! she is a BLAST to drive! tops out at like 55-60 mph, and the shifter is actually pretty darn good too lol :D
