The record

The forestiers-sapeurs are the forest-worker fire corps run by Corsica's departmental councils, clearing firebreaks in winter and patrolling the maquis in the fire season. bos-fahrzeuge.info records this Land Rover of the Conseil Général de la Corse-du-Sud service based at Ajaccio as a Mehrzweckfahrzeug / véhicule tout usage on a Defender 110 Tdi chassis with an in-house (Behördenausbau) fit: crew of 1+4, 2,495 cc engine of 90 kW, 3,000 kg gross weight and a Hella KL7000 rotating beacon. The single photograph, from 2010, shows a yellow double-cab pickup with a white roof and a grey canvas tilt over the bed; its exact station is not recorded.

The registry's model uses the Defender 130 high-capacity double-cab body (the photograph's long bed and four doors fit the 130 better than the short 110 crew cab, though the source lists it as a 110 Tdi), in yellow with the white roof, canvas-covered bed, blue beacon, black arches and bumper and silver wheels; in the game it carries the blue-light boost. The only reference is a small thumbnail, so decals and the registration are left off.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
