In October 1965 the Mark 1 Shorland Armoured Patrol Car was in
production based on the 109 inch wheel base Series IIA Land Rover. It used
a military chassis with heavy-duty axle and suspension.

The turret gun
was a .30 inch Browning machine gun, and the vehicle had a single fuel tank carrying 14
gallons (64 litres). Optional extras included a second fuel tank,
extractor fan and smoke dischargers.

Powered by a 2286 cc 4-cylinder
petrol engine, it produced 67 bhp at 4000 rpm. The armour was said to be
7.25 mm, but this is odd as I have a Mk 1 and it measures 8.25 mm.
Production figures for Mark 1 was about 100.
