The Cuthbertson tracked Land Rover took a standard Land Rover and fitted demountable tracks to it. It is believed that 15 units were made by Cuthbertson of Biggar Scotland, including three prototypes, and that the last one was built in 1972 which would be into the Series Three Land Rover era. Each track is carried by four skinny, rubber-tyred road wheels.
Drive sprockets replace the Land Rover's normal road wheels.
The four tracks are mounted on a sturdy subframe to take the stresses which would otherwise be placed on the Land Rover's wheel hubs. The tracked Land Rover's steering is like that of a normal car but the effort to turn the tracks comes from a hydraulic power-steering pump driven off the front of the crankshaft. As can be seen from the floor this allows even more opportunities for the Land Rover to leak oil. The steering can only be turned when the Cuthbertson is in motion.
