They could be on your street right now without you knowing. The SAS are the world’s most formiddable special forces regiment but it wouldn’t be possible without the specialist vehicles they employ around the world.
Join us as we delve into the history of the vehicles used by the SAS.

We hope you like this one! We'd actually begun working on another vehicle but couldn't resist diving deep into this Special Forces array of Vehicles! – Jacob
Will be waiting for the video on the vehicle in your collection 👍.
Another fantastic interesting video, brilliant thanks
I seem to remember seeing a 6 wheel stretched pink panther at a show somewhere.
I don't know how true it is but I've heard it from multiple sources that they don't actually use police vehicles nor do they use blue light apparently the number plates used by the sas are recorded on the national police data Base and if a copper runs the plate for speeding they are to ignore it. I don't know how true this is but kinda makes more sense then lights and sirens
In the 1990 s a vehicle was developed to S A S specification by Reutech in South Africa named the Shadow and featured in Janes Defence Weekly – but for some unknown reason never accepted – way better in every respect to the Land Rover – greater range much higher road clearance unique soldier-proof automatic gearbox with unique lock-up feature much greater wading depth and a potent Caterpillar engine and under mine protection none of which the LandRover never had.- the Land rover was a civilian vehicle the Shadow was designed and built to tight specification and hugely capable as you can imagine.
Perhaps even more secretive would be the vehicles of 77 Brigade. Who are with out a doubt the British Armies elite counter terrorism unit.
I thought you might have shown the HMT Supercat that replaced the pinkies, they're almost 25 years old now.
Ease up on the. Dramatic. Music. . Boooo. Yaaa. Hrh. Harry
The British Army first used pink paint as desert camouflage in North Africa during WW2. The RAF also used some pink Spitfires for photo recon. (PR).
I believe most of the privately owned Pinkies were sold at auction relatively recently and went to America.
the first vehicles the SAS used came from the LRDG
1980 hertz rental vans used at princes gate

Hey, at 1.31 https://youtu.be/9LCmRjOtV0s?t=91 on the far right – that's my father Terry Jickells. He was a good man never swore or lost his temper. One afternoon he brought a pinky (SAS Desert Vehicle) home – it was like that in Hereford back in the early days. After thousands of jumps with the early shoots he had a bad back – it took its toll. To his right second right is Don Hughes, to his right is Colonel Dare Wilson and second from left is Pete Sherman. I'm not certain who the remaining two are. All the best.
