Bigbee,
Very interesting! I had no idea that there may be another Esarco 8X8 in the US. Wonder what happened to this one?
This is the earlier model with the flat-sided cab, some were open-topped. See one that was on eBay not too long ago...
MWG Esarco 8X8 truck (UK)
To answer the questions:
The cab is aluminum (aluminium) with the curved-profile doors from the familiar Land Rover Defender. The bed is steel.
The unladen weight of the truck is 7837 lb. and the payload is 4415 lb. I guess it could be called a2-ton truck.
Esarco...
ArmyMan,
Thanks for telling me what to do in attaching photos. I'm attaching three photos of my 1990 MWG Esarco 8X8, as a test. If it works, I'll post a few more. Hope they're not too large.
The truck is Land Rover-based, with a 4-cyl Perkins turbo diesel engine and auto transmission...
