Marques
Reynolds Boughton built chassis rather than ranges. The RB44 of 1988–93 was bought to replace the British Army’s Land Rover 101 Forward Control under a £25 million contract for 846 vehicles, and became one of the best-documented procurement failures in British military motoring: withdrawn twice for a braking fault, re-accepted in August 1995 and retired in 2010. The Pegasus 4×4 chassis under Chubb’s Pursuer crash tender of 1975 sold in even smaller numbers.

A one-tonne 4×4 on Dodge 50 Series underpinnings, bought to replace the Land Rover 101 Forward Control: a Perkins Phaser diesel of 107 hp through a Chrysler Torqueflite three-speed automatic, 2.5 tonnes of payload and towing, twelve on bench seats, 58 mph — and a braking fault that took five years to settle.
The Pegasus 4×4 chassis under Chubb’s Pursuer of 1975: seven tons, a rear-mounted Chrysler H440 V8 of 225 hp or an optional Rolls-Royce B81 of 235, an Allison automatic, and nought to 50 mph in under twenty seconds.
