There are many wonderful combinations in this world. They may sound irrelevant, but they can always produce incredible chemical reactions. For example, when a hard-core Land Rover SERIES ⅡA is painted pink, it has a special interest.
Frankly speaking, when it comes to pink, I guess most steel straight men like me will think of key words such as “innocence”, “romantic” and “delicate”. Of course, if you are more imaginative, you may think of a sunny beach bikini.
All in all, pink has almost no intersection with hardcore off-road vehicles, even if there is no shortage of pink Wranglers or Mercedes-Benz G around us.
The reason why this pink SERIES ⅡA is painted in pink is not because of the overflowing girlishness, but on the contrary, it is painted in pink to better show its hard-core strength. Because this SERIES IIA serves in the world’s most prestigious hard-core force – SAS (British Special Air Service).
During World War II, SAS purchased a batch of Jeeps, which were used for sabotage and reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines. Their performance did not disappoint SAS, and their powerful maneuverability was affirmed by SAS. The SERIES IIA began to serve SAS in 1968, when the British Ministry of Defense purchased a total of 72 SERIES IIAs.
Among them, the mission of SERIES IIA serving the SAS troops is to help SAS fight in the desert, because pink may be the best camouflage color for moving in the desert. I guess many people will have doubts when they see here, shouldn’t the best camouflage color in the desert be khaki? However, this is not the case in fact. The pink used by SERIES ⅡA is very concealed in the desert, especially at dawn and dusk.
In order to ensure its good mobility, the “useless guys” such as door panels and windshields have long been removed, and even the roof no longer exists. In addition, four 25-gallon oil drums, sand boards, and special desert tires are used to ensure that it has the ability to cross long distances in the desert. The blessing of machine guns, rifles, anti-tank weapons, grenade brackets, smoke bombs and other weapons makes it have good combat capabilities.
So… Do you think this pink SERIES IIA is hardcore enough?
