Rare British Military Light Strike Vehicle Dune Buggy Heads To Auction

A road-legal dune buggy with a military background is set to be auctioned in the United Kingdom. This particular vehicle is a Longline/Ricardo MkII Light Strike Vehicle (LSV) that saw service with the UK’s Special Air Service (SAS) during the first Gulf War. The auction, hosted by Bonhams, is expected to fetch a price between $35,550 and $38,085 (£28,000 and £30,000) on July 14.

The MkII LSV is equipped with a Volkswagen-sourced 1.9-liter water-cooled flat-four engine, which originated from a Transporter van. It comes with four-wheel drive, an upgrade from the previous two-wheel drive configuration found in the MKI version. The later MKIII models switched to a turbodiesel VW powerplant.

iOS 17: Why You Should Wait Before Installing the Developer Beta

When it comes to beta software, bugs are expected. The whole purpose of a beta version is for users to discover and report issues, helping the company refine the software. While many bugs are small and get fixed quickly, there’s always the possibility of major ones. And for iPhone users, these major bugs can include battery drain, dropped calls, app crashes, unreliable Wi-Fi connection, and other bothersome problems.

If you own multiple iPhones, installing iOS 17 won’t be a big deal. You can simply install it on a device you don’t use daily. However, if you only have one iPhone that you heavily rely on for calls and daily tasks, installing the iOS 17 developer beta is a big risk. A serious bug could make your phone difficult or even impossible to use until Apple releases a fix. This fix could take several days, depending on the problem’s urgency and priority.

If you’re eager to test iOS 17 but don’t want to take such a risk, it’s best to wait for the iOS 17 public beta. This version will likely have resolved most of the major problems. Although you might still encounter some issues, they probably won’t be as severe. However, it’s important to remember that betas should never be installed on your primary devices. As advised by Apple, you should “install only on devices and systems that you’re prepared to erase if necessary.”

  • ‘My Ami Buggy II’ features rugged looks and colourful trim, as well as exclusive accessories.
  • Priced at £10,495 OTR, UK sales open online at 2.00pm on Tuesday 20 June.
  • Just 40 examples of the new ‘Limited Edition’ My Ami Buggy will be sold in the UK, available exclusively via the Citroën Ami website: https://www.citroen.co.uk/ami

 

Citroën has revealed a new version of My Ami Buggy, which will go on sale in the UK on 20 June at 2.00pm.  Based on the Citroën Ami 100% ëlectric quadricycle, 1,000 examples will be sold worldwide, with just 40 available to UK buyers. My Ami Buggy will be priced at £10,495 OTR.

 

The previous ‘Ultra-Limited Series’ My Ami Buggy, which was available in France last year, sold out all 50 units in under 18 minutes.

 

My Ami Buggy emits zero emissions in use and has a 5.4kWh battery that charges in four hours. With a range of up to 46 miles (WMTC**), and a top speed of 28mph, it is a modern solution that delivers on Citroën’s promise to provide affordable and clean mobility solutions for all.

 

My Ami Buggy features an adventurous spirit, trim for the great outdoors and fun accessories, such as the Khaki exterior colour, and black protective elements including reinforced bumpers, skid plates, headlamp surrounds, wheel arch extensions, and a rear spoiler – all of which combine to give a muscular appearance.

 

Yellow accents feature across the exterior and throughout the interior, demonstrating My Ami Buggy’s vitality and fun nature. Yellow flashes are embossed on the front panel, with yellow arrows on the wheel arches. Interior storage bins, door opening straps, bag hooks, and the carpet and seat stitching, also feature yellow accents. The new instrument cluster boats a rounded cover for a retro feel.

 

My Ami Buggy does not have traditional doors or a conventional sunroof. Instead, the driver and passenger can enjoy their leisure time and feel as close to nature as possible with a real sense of freedom. Removable plastic covers and a black waterproof fabric roof have been designed to protect occupants from the wind, cold and rain. When not required, the roof and door covers can be simply and easily rolled back, and secured with snap buttons, or they can be removed entirely.

 

The door and roof frames have been designed to integrate storage space for the roof and plastic weather protection – while also enhancing the style of My Ami Buggy. At the front, the roof frame has been extended to integrate a sun visor

 

The new My Ami Buggy also features an element from the acid yellow luggage range that was unveiled in December 2021 with the original My Ami Buggy concept. The yellow bag fits into the centre of the steering wheel and is held in place with clip-on straps – this provides a convenient storage space for personal belongings when on the move.

 

My Ami Buggy is also available with the Ultimate Ears Boom lightweight Bluetooth® speaker that fits into a specifically design space on the dashboard. The speaker is waterproof and sturdy with a 15-hour battery life for all your adventures in My Ami Buggy.

 

Greg Taylor, Managing Director at Citroën UK, said: “Following the fantastic success of the My Ami Buggy ‘Ultra-Limited Series’ in France in 2022, with all 50 units selling out in less than 18 minutes – and with the fastest customer completing the purchase of their My Ami Buggy in 2 minutes and 53 seconds – I am delighted that UK customers will also have the opportunity to buy a My Ami Buggy. Ami 100% ëlectric, My Ami Cargo, and My Ami Buggy are revolutionising urban mobility, with over 35,000 units sold worldwide to date. The growing line-up demonstrates our commitment to offering affordable electric mobility for all, and we’re doing so in the fun and innovative way that only Citroën can.”

 

My Ami Buggy goes on sale in the UK at 2.00pm on 20 June, exclusively at https://www.citroen.co.uk/ami

 

Since its launch in April 2020, Citroën Ami 100% ëlectric has been a standout success in the micro-mobility market. Ami is easy to drive because it is ultra-compact at 2.41 metres long. Electric power offers smooth and dynamic driving around town, and it can be charged in just 4 hours. Ami was created to be used by as many people as possible and by drivers of all ages. It can be driven just as easily by a 17-year-old as by a 77-year-old. It is also affordable and has a very low total cost of ownership.
