'Shell' Land Rover

Built for Shell Oil Company in 1963 for use in Alaska during exploration of possible pipeline routes, this Land Rover was fitted with special wheels and tyres that would enable it to cross the vast Tundra. Under the rear floor was a PTO driven air compressor, allowing the driver to inflate the tires from 2PSI to 20PSI. To steer the enormous tyres, a Garrison power-steering system was fitted. In front was a Koenig PTO winch. The cost of the tyres and wheels alone was more than the then current retail price of the Land Rover.
