Pink Panther.

The Pink Panther Land Rovers
are desert patrol vehicles used by the SAS.
As you can see they really are pink.
Pink is said to be one of the best camouflage colours for the desert.
One often sees factory photographs with a driver resembling Lawrence
of Arabia, or is it Peter O'Toole, and wearing Arab head gear.
Special features include sand tyres, a novel spare wheel mounting,
no doors, machine gun mounting, lots of fuel tanks and jerry cans.
Everything is aimed at keeping the vehicle as low and inconspicuous
as possible.
