If it has 6 wheels it can't ba a 4x4.
it's probably either a 6x6 or 6x4.

Often the 3rd axle is not driven and is just there to help take a
heavy load.

Regards.
Mark.

Well it is not a Scammell explorer is it. No the extra axle just freewheels,
it is there for lowering the axle load and increasing the weight bearing
capacity.

As to why the third axle was at the front in Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce is
anybody's guess but then there was always the Bedford VAL coach wasn't there
with two steering axles at the front

Seen that in action at Shellsey Walsh. Unfotunately something went wrong
with it and it crashed, but not too seriously.

Maybe because Lady Penelope was top heavy (in need of a pair of support
devices) and thin at the rear?
(pun intended)
Take care
