At this time, it was still being bided on by contractors. They gave a brief description of the proposed models by each of the three finalists. Since it has entered production, I have found little information about the production model. Could someone send me information about it? The article talked about various versions (such as a four and eight litter ambulance, missile-launcher, command vehicle, etc.) All I've seen is just what appears to be a simple passenger-carrying vehicle. There was a local television program on a while ago about it produced by LTV (I take it they are a sub- contractor or something like that), but it was interrupted by coverage of Nelson Mandela being released. When the program returned, they were talking about something else. They had a cameraman in the back seat shooting through the windshield as the driver went through a dirt road in a forest at high speed. The driver was very happy with the vehicle and it's performance in such situations. I have seen it on roads a couple of times, but from a distance. Any information anyone has would be appreciated. Thank you.
