The Shorland was manufactured by Short Brothers of
Ireland, UK. The Shorland is Land Rover based. The
vehicle has an upgraded suspension to deal with the
extra weight of the armor. Used for internal security
work, the armor can withstand handgun and 7.62 rifle
rounds. Unlike the Ferret, Saracen and Saladin, the
Shorland like the Humber Pig has a standard transmission
and clutch like a regular car in the USA, therefore no
learning experience is needed to drive it. Driver sits
right as standard in England. The turret takes a
Browning machine gun and the gunner sits in a cradle
that rotates. You could if in a pinch put up to 7 men
into the vehicle. Run flat tires are standard. About 10
variants were made of the Shorland with many upgrades
such as improved engines.
