I bet Simon enjoyed driving a Ford.

I certainly learned a lot about Ford with this vehicle.

It was completely the wrong vehicle for the job, no turbo and too low. A few times we had the vehicle suspended by the front and back with the drive wheels unable to get enough traction.

The trucks in this photo were well bogged and after all this was a major road in Bolivia.

Kit was this the first coach you took on the Overland?

Never seen that one before.

It would have had the 380 normally aspirated engine I guess. No good for altitude work at all.
