SHADO Jeep is alive

Remember the Mini Moke based SHADO Jeep used for the UFO television series (click here)? Arch Mini derivatives fan Paul Wylde found some more pictures of the car on the world wide web recently. I especially like the behind-the-scenes black and white pic that clearly shows the A-series lump. The best thing is that one of the cars survives in Italy.
SHADO Jeeps lined up together with Commander Straker's cool coupe. That, too, survives 
On-board shooting. Plenty of room for the camera man next to A-series lump but mind that carburettor!
Best bit is that one of the six-wheeled Mini based Minivans survives. It's in Italy if you wondered

  1. They are, of course, Moke based, you can see the cooling vents firewall and original bonnet hinges of the Moke, in the picture with the bonnet off.
