	Lady Dive (Amphi-Bus) (City of Ottawa) The 42-passenger Lady Dive carries tourists. It was built by Daniel Beauchene just outside Ottawa in a small town called St. Isadore, Ontario. His regular business is the maintenance and overhaul of large farm tractors. He is now spending more time on his amphibian projects as the Lady Dive venture has been very lucrative. He also built the Amphibus for the Hippo tours in Toronto Canada. To build the bus they striped it right down to the chassis and engine, and build a completely new hull and superstructure. The same engine propels the bus on the street and on the water. The propeller uses a hydraulic system. The steering wheel also turns the rudder.
	Lady Duck This lady was also built by Daniel Beauchene. The Lady Duck, went down on 24 June 2002 around 100 metres from the docks of the marina. It sank fast. The four people who drowned appeared to be wearing life jackets.
	Lady (X) This lady was also seen in the Ottawa River. The Lady (X) is actually called the Amphi-Jeep. This info was send in by Jamey from Canada.
	Lancia Fiat Iveco 6640A (1972) The 6640A is an Italian wheeled amphibious vehicle intended for the police and fire departments. The off-road abilities were weak, best way to go into and out of the water were flat ramps. Info was send in by Andreas Dhum
	Lancia Fiat Iveco 6640G (1980) 6640G is an Italian wheeled amphibious armoured 4x4 vehicle weight: 6500 kg, payload: 2000 kg, Engine: 6 cyl, 5500 cc turbo diesel, Automatic transmission, 4wd. it has a speed of 11 km/h in the water driven by a water jet. It was ordered by the military (army). The off-road abilities are much improved sins the 6640A came on the market. Info was send in by Andreas Dhum In 1982 Jacques Cousteau guided an expedition in the Amazon Basin using Iveco vehicles, the 6640? 4x4 amphibian and the 6605 six-wheel-drive cross-country vehicle.
	Landmaster (1977) It is the vehicle from the Hollywood B Movie "Damnation Alley" AKA "Survival Run. The landmaster is 7-8 m long, 2.5-3 m wide ~ 3.5 m high. It was built on an earthmover - what they call in the USA a "belly scraper". Witch can be a Caterpillar, Case, or possibly Terex. http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/landmaster/index.htm
	Land Rover An amphibious Land Rover. The same trick is done with a defender, a Fiat panda and some others. The floats are made of surprisingly thin rubberised material. Float supports slide into tubes in the chassis. The basic Land Rover here is a LWB air-portable one with very low and basic bodywork, made for stacking in aircraft. It is a Series 2A Land rover long wheelbase with standard engine and gearbox. The major changes are that the rear bodywork is widened. This starts just behind the front seats. There is no side canvas for the driver or the passenger and in bad weather you get soaked and frozen. The vehicle (inc. engine which has a breather pipe and one way valve in exhaust) is waterproofed and outfitted for deep wading. http://www.artdes.mmu.ac.uk/daves/photo.htm
	Land Rover (1968) IN 1968 Land Rover build 2 Prototypes as a private venture for the Australian army The body is build-up from 3 separate units, a bit like the SeaRoader is build today The water goes into the engine bay about half way up the engine block! After trails it was a cancelled project. Partly because of the water pollution, partly because of the helicopter. Picture is taken from Dunsfold Collection.
	Land shark (1997) The speed prototype will use an 1100 cc engine from a Honda Blackbird which will give us estimated speeds of around 200 mph on land and 50 mph on water. Even if you never take it near the water, with a 900 cc engine you will still be driving something with lower running costs than a 2CV but will give Ferrari owners something to think about on the track. David Baker wants to get the Shark into production and wants to show how good this vehicle could be if developed correctly. This is why the Land Shark project has been created. The problem now is getting sufficient investment into Land Shark Ltd to actually start the project is. (No-one will sponsor them until the project has started). This is the main purpose of there website, to explain to people how serious a vehicle the shark could be if developed properly. http://www.landshark.co.uk David Baker 218, Malyons Road London SE13 7XF 1998 Lotus Engineering Ltd, agrees to become consultants to the project. 1999 Simon Grand completes redesign work in preparation for meeting with Lotus Engineering. 2000 Lotus Engineering Ltd decide to become fully involved and offer complete design and build service for the first speed prototype. 2001 Still no amphib, but the are selling baseball shirts. The funds raised will help to speed the project along. 2001
	Land Tamer The engine is a 1500cc Nissan 4 cylinder liquid cooled engine with 80hp and a 3 speed automatic transmission. Hydraulic actuated brake steering system with ventilated disk brakes Load Capacity: (6x6) Up to 1100 lbs. land and 750 lbs on water (8x8) Up to 2060lbs. land and 1700 lbs on water. (Rated with single set of tires, dual tires increase capacities) Land Speed: 40 mph Water Speed: 1-3 mph with tires alone. With optional jet propulsion system 5-7 mph depending on loading conditions. The 8x8 can move up to 9 people and with a 8x8 trailer a total of 19 people. http://www.landtamer.com/
	Land-Wasser-Schlepper (1936) (land-water tractor) Land-Wasser-Schlepper or LWS. The LWS was a special amphibious tracked vehicle for landing operations. The tractor would be able to tow a floating trailer with a weigh up to 18,000 kg. On water the tractor would function as a tug for the floating cargo trailer. After landing the tractor would have to move the trailer to a safe place to unload the cargo. The LWS was a motor tug built with tracks. The engine was a Maybach HL 120TRM / 12-cylinder / 300hp The boat part of the LWS had a clean, pronounced bow, and on the top there was a compartment for the crew of three and there was an extra room for another 20. (Sardines ??) The LWS has two large propellers for propulsion in water. Speed on road: 35km/h and on water: 12km/h Length: 7.68m Width: 2.34m Height: 2.65m http://home.inreach.com/rickylaw/dictatorship/heer/amphibious/lws/lws.html

Officialy known as Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo (LARC) But some people called is the Light(er) Amphibious Reconnaissance Craft The LARC landing craft replaced the world war two DUKW. Suspension on the LARC is only by means of the large balloon tyres which greatly simplifies the job of getting the drive through the hull and to the wheels. The LARC came into service with the Australian Army in 1964 for military and flood-relief operations. They have also been used at the Australian Antarctic bases for transport between ship and shore.
