Anderson had a special camera car built, which again was Mini Moke based, using and extra rear subframe and six wheels.

The plate number on this vehicle looks to be different to the Anderson vehicle (although physically, it's identical) - he chap said he'd since learned that Anderson had a second vehicle made.
