What Can I Expect
Armoured Land Rover driving at a fantastic showground venue near Rugby! This is your chance to drive a beefed up ‘Snatch' military Landy on the challenging obstacle course. If you go for the Ultimate voucher, you get to take a ride in a Spartan tank too!
The official name for this military patrol vehicle is the Truck Utility Medium (TUM), but everyone calls them Snatch Land Rovers. And that name comes from their use in demos and protests, as they were deployed to pick off, pick up and arrest the ringleaders.
It's actually based on the Land Rover Defender 110. After initial mods, a ‘public order kit' was added, to make sure the armoured Land Rover could withstand small arms fire and all sorts of trouble!
This Snatch Landy has all the gear, including a 3.5l V8 Rover engine. It comes in at 3.5 tonnes, but it can still shift - as you will find out when you get to drive it.
Up the steeps, down the drops, along the troughs and more, this is a very capable armoured Land Rover vehicle you'll be driving on this tricky terrain in Rugby.
Of course an instructor will be sitting alongside you to make sure you give those obstacles your best shot. But one thing is for sure - it’s going to be a bouncy ride when you go on a Snatch armoured Land Rover drive at Rugby’s showground!
