    It looks like a 125" wheelbase Sandringham 6 built by Hotspur Motor Cars in the UK. They did series, stage 1 and Defender versions IIRC and were mainly geared towards things like heavy cherry pickers, tippers and other commercial uses. That one has been blinged out sadly.

    They were 6X6 with a drive through diff on the middle axle although there is no diff between the rear two axles so scrubbing is an issue. THe suspension was fairly neat as one axle had 88 mounts and the other 109 mounts so that the two systems could overlap allowing the wheels to position that close together.

    My favourite is still the Centaur halftrack.

    This is probably some of the stuff Gregor is talking about:

    I think Clifton hit it.

    I also doubt it's 6x6. Move up to 31" tires and this dream boat takes on water.

    Fun as it it might be, it's not for my sensible self.

    If the location is correct on the eBay listing - that thing is 30 minutes from me. I have never seen it on the roads around town. (I know.. imagine that.)

    I could take a look over the weekend. I won't waste the seller's time unless someone on here is serious for a first hand look-see.
