Details for the Military Drive Experience - Salisbury

Product ID: 14929

All of the off-roaders available for this experience are genuine ex-Army vehicles that have seen action while serving with the British Forces. If these vehicles could speak, they would have countless anecdotes and tales to share about the dangers and heroic acts they have been a part of, facing adversity in the line of duty. The available military vehicles may vary but include trucks, armoured personnel carriers, and jeeps, giving you an idea of the calibre of army transport you could be driving. One of the most fascinating vehicles in this historic military fleet is the Land Rover 101 Forward Control. It is commonly referred to as the Land Rover One Tonne due to its ability to tow a field gun and carry a tonne of ammunition. This Landy was never produced in a civilian version, making it quite an honour to be able to drive one. The Salisbury-based military vehicle event operator has an Austin Champ Jeep, which happens to be the oldest resident of the collection. The British Army awarded Austin the contract to build a UK-made Jeep-style 4x4 light truck, which was designated as FV1801A. The first vehicle was produced in 1951 at the Longbridge production line. The vehicles were used for various purposes such as field ambulances and telecoms trucks during combat. The one on display is armoured with a (decommissioned) .303 Bren gun. So why wait? Treat a military vehicle enthusiast to the driving experience of a life time!

Customer Reviews for the Military Drive Experience - Salisbury

This looked a good experience for both my son and husband to celebrate a birthday I paid twice so they could both have a driving experience. They got to drive the same two vehicles .... although not the opportunity to see the others mentioned in the description which was a little disappointing. I was under the impression that they would be able to look at the other vehicles and maybe choose which one they would like to drive this is probably my mistake, and is not what happens. The two vehicles were the only ones there, the others evidently being stored some way away. The instructor was friendly and enthusiastic about the vehicles that were available that day.The directions were a little tricky to follow and possibly need checking as we felt they were not completely correct. We managed to find it though and enjoyed it once we had. The weather was not kind which is noones fault, but there was nowhere to wait or watch so I ended up observing from our car.Just a small note there are no facilities at all available so dont arrived desperate for the loo theres one in the CoOp garage on the main road before you turn off for the venueWe might well visit again, but would check if we could have different vehicles available on the day, if we did. We felt the price was competitive with others available.

Had an awesome time. Peter, the instructor, was knowledgeable and patient as he guided you round the tracks. Cant wait to go back and do some more.
