This features on a few Land-Rover forum websites
Probably a Carmichael, some were 6x4 (trailing axle), some 6x6 (airfield crash tenders)
True!
A heck of a lot are

I've seen two six-wheeled Range Rovers near me over the years. One with four wheels at the rear, outside an estate agents in town. The other with four wheels at the front, giving four wheel steering.
Both had six wheel drive.

In all my years of fascination/involvement with the Solihull products, I've never seen/read about/been told of a twin-steer axle Landie
I'd have thought that sufficient axle-articulation/prop-shaft placement/steering linkage (with drag-links/sterring rods/etc..) would be an issue
The closest I've seen is the ESARCO 8x8 (imagine 2 90's, dropped 'half-way' over each others chassis; steering axles at both ends)

Can only report what was seen.
Who built it I don't know.

Whilst that Verge TS Pro from 'forever delay strategists' looks a total financial disaster for UK gov , and maybe of De Lorean proportions, its precursor was a good bit worse. Typical Indiegogo stuff. **edit - hope it is a tiny proportion of those headline 'billions of UK investment'.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I saw something like that once years ago. Driving in heavy start stop traffic down the Cromwell Road. It had little stabiliser legs that popped out when it came to a stop.

Thats what they do, so you probably did indeed spot one in the wild.

How would that work on a sideways slope??
I'm thinking about the times I have put my foot down on my bike on the downhill side of a side slope
and it not going well!
That TS Verge Pro, I sort of wonder if the UK gov money was for battery development, not motor(maybe both).
Suspecting a disaster for the Donut Wheel maybe they would then aim a switch to a less flawed hub wheel.
Theres lots of batteries at 400Wh+ per kg, just none yet in production. Whatever, 3 months still sounds very far fetched.
