I always loved the MASSIVE ashtray in the early RRC's.

This is a Prototype RRC from the Rover museum at Gaydon Warwickshire:-

And some other interesting LRs from the collection:-

Prototype station wagon:-

Pink Panther:-

FC:-

Tracked series:-

Very early expedition RRC:-

Tomb Raider 110 - one used in the film by Angelina Jolie:-

I hope you find them as interesting as I did.

The station wagon is a Tickford, not a prototype. The tracked SII is a Cuthbertson.

 

[mowerman]

yes it was done by Tickford for LR and was the first one they did I seem to remember

Thanks for the pictures.

The Land Rover pedigree is awesome to behold. These vehicles are dream machines. Every time I see these vintage rovers, I can imagine hundreds of different adventures that they made possible around the world. Land Rovers were a game changer in the world of expeditionary travel.

The Defender concept vehicle does not belong to this pedigree. It trades off a great name, but it is an imposter. The new concept vehicle does not conjure up visions of expeditionary travel that previous Land Rovers made possible.
