LandRover 129

Land Rover experimented with larger versions of Land Rovers, building various prototypes that never went into production. This particular one has a 129" wheelbase, 9.00x16 tyres, and 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo-charged diesel (now the latter was a sign of things to come). It was on show at Billing98

This 129" one has a number of differences from above, such as in the rear bodywork (?shades of HCPU?) and in the bonnet. (There is a Carmichael fire engine in the background.)

Note the leaf springs over the axles. It is clear that most of the cab derives from the ordinary Land Rover of the day.
