The Boots 17 Lipstick promotional vehicle was in fact constructed on a
stalwart Mk 1 by C&C Military Services Ltd in the UK. It was painted pink
and purple cammo, used for a few years on a rolling roadshow promotion and
has now passed into private ownership in the midlands somewhere where I
believe it is being rebuilt back to Military spec.
