OTAL One Ton Amphibious Land Rover, 1965. A prototype built for the Australian army based on a Land Rover One Ton with a six cylinder petrol engine. The cab, wings and rear body are aluminium watertight compartments and all possible space was stuffed with expanded foam for buoyancy. Propulsion and steering was by the tyres. The vehicle went to Australia for trials but was never accepted and returned to the UK. More recently it was fully restored and forms part of the Dunsfold Collection

I kind of like this fishy car: Amphicar 770 (1961–1968), the little man's whimsical yacht, constructed by Hans Trippel. A bowl of grease has always belonged on board. After every trip on the water, 13 nipples had to be lubricated. On solid ground, an estimated 120 km/h was the reward, in the water up to 6.5 knots.

Temporarily halting his squad behind the relative shelter of an Amphibious Assault Vehicle, Cpl. Anthony Cucchiara of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, shouts across the street to know the situation of the other members of his platoon, during Operation Phantom Fury, on November 12, 2004.
Kilo Company pushed south on the main thoroughfare through Fallujah, designated Route Henry, where they encountered the heaviest resistance since the assault began four days prior.
