Latil of France
began making power packs
that could replace the front axle, shaft and horse of carts -
this around the turn of the century. They then moved naturally
onto building four wheel drives 4x4 [Bal87].
During World War One they built 4x4 gun tractors,
like many other manufacturers.
Apparently the firm's spirit lives on in the
ALM military vehicle.
Latil 4x4 Road Tractor (1950)
3200kg weight
Meadows DC4-420 6.9L diesel
4 speed gearbox,
two speed transfer case with part-time four wheel drive,
chassis mounted diff's, hub-reduction gears,
diff' locks on both axles
PTO winch
The most remarkable feature is the front and rear wheel steering,
inherited from Latil's first days,
which prevents transmission wind-up in four wheel drive
without the need for a centre differential.
The Latil tractor is pictured at the Australia Day vehicle display.
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
