The record

Garaje Siberia's history of the Guardia Civil's Land Rovers records that, alongside the ordinary Santana fleet, the force took a number of Santana 2000 forward controls specially fitted for the anti-terrorist campaign of the 1970s and 1980s: a box body behind the cab with an armoured side door pierced by vision ports, and full-length bench seats along the walls so that a squad could sit facing outward, weapons ready, and return fire on the move if the vehicle was attacked. The photograph shows one at a road block on the Basque coast beside a BMR armoured car. Numbers built are not recorded.

The registry's model is a dark green Santana 2000 forward control with the box body, armoured side door with ports and roof ventilator; in the game it is bullet-proof and fires from its crew compartment.
