Sorry to intrude on your message board but I have recently purchaced this vehicle made from Austin A30 , Mini and Triumph parts and the only infomation the vendor gave me was that this vehicle was made buy "Turner". the vehicle it`s self is forward control in design using a Austin A 30 Steering box and lots of linkage to make this vehicle 4 wheel steered the chassis is very similar to 2 Mini front sub frames with longutuidal members between them,almost identical to the front end of the Turner chassis in the technical infomation on this web site. The engine is a early front wheel drive "A" series but in line and each drive shaft then goes to a Triumph herald diffrental making the vehicle 4x4 . The suspension is from a Mini and so with the brakes and hubs . there is a chassis plate which only has "Calor Ranger "printed on it and the chassis no of 0033 .The body of the vehicle,from the rear is almost like a Daimlar Ferret this part covers the engine and to the front of this body work are 2 moulded seats .The vehicle is about 8` in length and less that 4` wide Thank you for any responce in advance and i will have a few pictures ina couple of days and i`m sorry if i have the wrong "Turner"
