eBay build opportunity? 6X6 GPV military

Saw this on eBay. Pretty interesting rig, but with the center, low mount engine and what looks like a large cooling fan behind the cab in the video, plus the complexity of 'crab steering', might be a challenging build. Interesting the build plate shows Istanbul.

That is pretty unusual - independent suspension 6x6. Can't tell if the cab is a double cab or just extended? Seems to show three across seating but also shows a big center console? Seems like it would be a single cab since there are no rear doors.

The crab steering is also odd since it only steers the rear mots axle - resulting in it scrubbing the center axles tires when driving at an angle - but it works on loose road surfaces I guess. Should allow rear steering on tight turns to reduce the turning radius as well. See the youtube video for pics of it...

Seems like it would make a really nice expo camper platform...

I've been watching this one too. I had to explain to my wife that we really needed it so we could parallel park our super camper easily in small cities in Europe some day.

Sounds like justification enough to me!
