On a remote Island somewhere in the Southern hemisphere (no not that one) a company by the name of The Secret Machine Co, specialises in the disposal of rare and esoteric vehicles and equipment from organisations that would rather remain anonymous. Just added to their inventory is this unique off/under road vehicle previously owned by a small family run business.
