What Can I Expect

Drive a Leyland DAF 4x4 army truck! This is your call-up to drive a genuine ex-Army Leyland DAF 4x4 at this trucking centre near Rugby in Warwickshire.

And, if you want to spend more time with the military beasts, plump for the Ultimate Experience voucher, which gives you a  ride in the super nimble Alvis Spartan tank, as well as your DAF truck drive.

You will be stationed at the showground near Dunchurch for your active duty driving genuine ex-Army vehicles. Get ready to tackle the tricky terrain around the perimeter tracks and paths at this expansive site.

These sturdy DAF trucks have powered armies around the world, having been commissioned as general service trucks. Hundreds of them have trundled through training grounds, military bases and war zones. And indeed, whilst tanks often get all the glory, there's no doubt these chunky trucks are the workhorses behind the scenes that make for successful ground-based missions.

This particular one has many original features; from NATO tow hooks and helicopter lift points, to that flat platform with British Army green tarpaulin covers, to give you just a taste of what his DAF truck's working life was all about.

Be prepared for a bumpy ride though, as this rough and ready rugged truck has no airs and graces. They are built for the job in hand, not for comfort. And when you climb into the cab, don't expect gadgets and gizmos. It's basic but pretty much indestructible in there. 

So, let's see how you, as a civvie, get on with driving this genuine Leyland DAF army truck, kicking up the dirt and dust with those big, big tyres!
