Ibex (vehicle)
Ibex is an off-road vehicle, made by Foers Engineering Ltd in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. Foers offer the Ibex either ready-built or as a kit to build with donor parts from a Land Rover Defender on a monocoque chassis.
Foers offers the Ibex with a range of different wheelbases and body types.
Among other features, the Ibex can be built or delivered with Foer's patented Vector winch system. A winch is mounted centrally in the vehicle, and the cable runs to fairleads front and rear. This allows the vehicle to pull in either direction, or pull out the cable and secure it both ways, so that the vehicle can pull along the cable like a cable car.[1]
There have been four generations of Ibex, from the Mk 1 in 1988 to the current Ibex F8.
ATAE Munro Mark 1[]
The Munro Mark 1[2] is an electric 4x4 utility vehicle intended for farm use, which has been developed on the platform of the V8-engined Foers Ibex F8[3] by Scottish company All Terrain All Electric Ltd.
