The Appeal
Introduced in 1994, and based on the Land Rover Defender, the ‘Wolf’ is the definition of military hardware. Engineered for durability and reliability, with very little eye for comfort, these utility vehicles are a common sight in most military occupations, often going where the American military Humvees couldn’t.
The Winter Water Wolf is a specialised iteration of these - a rugged motor that’s built as a landing craft, capable of carrying personell through extreme temperatures and over 1. 5 metres of water. Built in 1998, this one was in military service until around 2015, when it was decommissioned.
These vehicles were usually shipped from one exercise to the next, used strictly for these shuttling motions, and as a result rarely racked up much in the way of mileage. Their exact usage and movements have been classified and scrubbed - so we can’t tell you exactly where this example has been, or what it’s done, but we can tell you that it’s so scarce that the Land Rover Heritage Collection still doesn’t have an example.
Restored following purchase in 2015, this uniquely versatile utility vehicle is ready to hit the road (or water) with a new owner - a fabulous piece of military history that represents the best of British engineering. Simply impeccable - this is likely to be the only opportunity you get to take on this piece of rare military hardware. With the extra features, the specialist hardware and that extreme-weather spec, we’re sure this will turn plenty of heads on the road - and impress even the most discerning Land Rover enthusiast.
Don’t let it pass you by - after all, it could escape you through water, desert, land and the Arctic…
