|  | The Bosvark was an interim patrol vehicle created by fitting a mine-resistant armoured 'dish' to the troop compartment, and steel plates to the cab of a Unimog. In 1974, 54 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 416-162 chassis had hastily converted into Bosvark by 61 Base Workshops in Pretoria. Bosvark offered limited landmine protection to the crew, but compensated for this with good off-road mobility Post your comments and feedback on the Bosvark here... |
