We used to have a real early model Honda Odyssey that we used for beating up the desert in Abu Dhabi back in the early nineties I think the model was called FL350.
It had a great roll cage (that we tested several times) and neat options like hand throttle and brakes on the steering wheel, variable speed drive, balloon tyres and locked diff (actually, it didn't have a diff come to think about it!).
