Belgian Army Series III 88 4×2 Staff Car

History

Heritage 4x4 describes its preserved 1975 Belgian vehicle as a 4×2 with a limited-slip differential. Its fleet history records several hundred delivered in 1974–75 for officers, chaplains and military police, with withdrawal around 1986. The reference shows olive canvas, rear aerial bases and a rolled rear flap.

The displayed Dutch plate belongs to the preserved vehicle. The separate Just Land Rovers listing describes another 1974 example as a radio vehicle; it is supporting evidence for the 4×2 type, not the identity of the photographed car. Arcade handling remains an approximation.
