    Land Rover 60th Event at the Gaydon heritage Centre. England

    Just thought that some of you might like to see some photos from the 60th birthday bash held at Gaydon last weekend. Look out for "Huey" HUE 166 LR No.1.

    Quite a rare beast. Most aren't road registered because of handling problems (standing on their nose)

    The dunsfold colleciton has a number of them.

    And how did you get that then Mark i did wonder at first who the nutter in the G4 disco was who was chasing me around the site

    I was helping my brother and we had to look after the Devon truck and the Bowler Nemesis all weekend.
    This was the part of the display that we did for Land rover



    Simon from Devon and Drew bowler both turned up with the trucks on friday and said they would be back late on Sunday .
    They left us with the keys of both trucks
    Here is a pic of the keys to the devon truck (on the right ) and the Nemisis with is on the left (yeah that was the key for a £140,000 truck )



    We had to hide the bowler at night and take the devon truck to our campsite as nothing on it was locked or bolted down. Who can spot the AULRO stubbie holder and 4x


    At our campsite




    My brother after going for a drive in the Bowler for the first time . (Have vid of me driving it around but not back in Aus yet and don't have the software on my brothers pc to get it off camera, will post later )



    Me driving the devon truck


    This is the truck my local garage gave me while i was here . They rang me up and aksed if i had a car and then gave me this 90 to off road and play with. It is the x Goodyear race 90. Has full cage and a tweeked to hell td5 engine. Goes like a rocket . Tows well too. Towed my brothers racer up to gayden

    The Llama didn't go into production because the bean counters at British Leyland said there wasn't a market for them. I wonder why Isuzu and Mitsubishi didn't take their advice?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    In the end they were right. BL stopped development and the market went elsewhere. Damn shame too, the world would be a different place if they had started producing them and similar work vehicles.
