2001 Defender 110 300 Tdi ST Fuji White
Armoured Beast
Saw this beast with Dorset Police firearms teams yesterday in Poole.

Spoke to copper briefly. Evidently not a defender but a 6 tonne chassis?!!! Fully armoured with Pume 3.2 200 BHP and 6 speed auto. Got a load more pics as they got busy with a helicopter etc.

Anyone know if there's any more of these? OVIK on the rear. Built in Dorset evidently.

Looks like and OVIK ST-A Multi-role armoured vehicle, see here for more info.

OVIK makes an interesting range of specialist vehicles. I didn't realise that Dorset Police had one, though.

Jed,

I saw the very same vehicle on my way to work parked on the pavement outside Poole Magistrates Court day before yesterday about 18:30. Would have loved to stop, have a look and maybe take a photo but was on the one-way system with a string of cars. It did look impressive at a glance.

Think he was embellishing the facts a bit for the model, or he's got his facts wrong..... Whistle

"the STAGG armoured vehicle has the ability to operate at up to 5 tonnes GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) in 4x4 format"

Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Dorset's OVIK
Just got round to uploading these. This was at Whitecliffe Park in Poole with the Dorset police chopper - they were transferring a casualty
