"above the floor the wall had 6 washed out grayish colored bars 20-25 cm width"

Were the bars vertically oriented or horizontally oriented?

"If a Pookie detonated a landmine, and it never did, the use of shear bolts meant that wheels would be blown harmlessly away, as would the battery, the 40-litre fuel tank and the rear mounted 1600 cc air-cooled Volkswagen engine. The driver would be unharmed in his capsule."

I going to guess that "unharmed" is a relative term.
