Feels a bit like a Jeremy Clarkson type special vehicle.

Looks like something I’d make out of Lego when I was a kid using whatever bricks I could find.

As it says Snow Trak(?) on the side it's obvious what conditions it is designed for. SimiIar to the more well known, & larger,
Snowcat that was (is?) used at both Poles.

Yes its a Yank van all Aluminium and it is Huge, in the flesh its even bigger, I bet it drinks fuel as well due to the size/weight

Found this parked outside my house, now its stock but I remember back in the day we used to fit Rover V8 in these and they rolled all over the place (fond memories)

Yes remember them well as my uncle had one just like that, and I remember climbing on the side of it too. Also reminds me that the police ones (not the shooting brakes, but just the panda's) were quite often seen at the side of the road with a front wheel collapsed out to the side, bet the crims in their Jags just loved it when that happened.

Just come back from a trip round asia and spotted a few of these MG (Yes MG) pickup trucks in Thailand (apparantly its the only place they sell them)

Saw this at a track day, no idea why it was there but great looking WW2 US Army vehicle.
