Topic: SOLVED: WTH # 211 - Custom Land Rover by Curtis Merrill w Nissan V6-Citroen suspension-Nissan trans and front diff-Jag rear diff

Is this an easy one?

For one point, name the builder of this car, the engine type, the differentials used, and the brand of transmission.

Up!

Obviously not an 88in wheelbase Land Rover Mk2  - is it the development mule for the Range Rover - the Velar?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not a development mule

[D-type]

But made by Land Rover?

[sixtee5cuda]

The body is original Land Rover.  Very little else about this vehicle was created by Land Rover.

It reminds me of a mule with a Land rover body from the Netherlands. It was made for the Spyker D8. This one isn't.

Spyker D8 Mule:



just to illustrate previous comment... obviously not the car of the puzzle

[DeAutogids]

I suppose it is -after some googling - a strange mixture of a lot of different cars. The body is Land Rover, but the suspension comes from Citroen. I don't know why, but a Nissan 300ZX engine is used. Transmission and front differential is Nissan too, though from the Pathfinder. Rear differential is Jaguar. It was constructed in Canada by Curtis Merrill.

Another point to DeAutogids for the correct answer.

For some, the large green hydraulic suspension spheres would have been a clue, as well as the Nissan wheels.
