[Lee W]

Good people of the group, in my stash I have Pandas Cougar 4x4, in the near future I want to make the British Ridgeback but what, if anything do I need to change? Ask that question on tinternet and get the square route of bugger all!
Any help would be great, thanks guys

Thanks Gary, don't suppose you have a visual difference, where the armour is, the antennas and all the other bits?
I know, I'm very wanting on my info intake! :rolling:

Think there are some locally, not seen out on roads for a few months.
Will also check MAFVA info see if any there.

The Cougars were being modified at Bovington after being purchased. Your making me wish I'd paid more attention to them now!!!
Quite impressive bits of kit, I think the MoD spent in excess of 1mil on the modification. (per vehicle). Each crew station had LCD displays. A couple had a funny telescopic mast and arm fitted. We suspected it was probably to do withIED's but never confirmed.
Maybe a loiter around the all weather circuit may get a pic or three!!!

Just done a google search and loads of images of the Ridgeback MRAP. I used 'UK Ridgeback MRAP' then looked at the pretty pics!!
