Armored Vehicle in movie Gandhi
Posted by Echo139er on Friday, January 28, 2011 9:34 PM

As I was watching the movie Gandhi, I noticed the armored vehicle (AV) below.  Does any one know if this is a depiction of a real AV or is it plain Hollywood imagination? Or, maybe a bit of both?

If real, what is it?  Do they make a kit?

More than likely a modern vehicle under plywood and sheet metal made to look like a RR armored car. Doubtful they would find an original one, get it running reliably enough to use in a few scenes in a movie.
