Could be the makings of a new thread- the most famous Land Rovers?!

I just saw the possible move to famous Land Rovers and had to throw this in to get it going.

Land Rovers look awesome even with Prime Ministers and movie stars in them.

I love the door hinges on Churchill's Land Rover.

I never met a series Land Rover that I did not like.

I love it! The Gods Must be Crazy! Its a classic film. The rover was called the "antichrist". The best scene is when the Rover stalls in the river, the guy ties the cable to a thick branch and when they come back minutes later, the rover is dangling in the tree...

Here's another one -- Colin Chapman's 1979 Range Rover being sold for £49,500 (about $75,000). I like this one, but you're paying a lot for provenance of this LR owned by the founder of Lotus Cars!

I believe he was holding that there for a photo briefly before letting it float away for good.
