Maybe not as classical as most of the pics on here (or original for that matter ....) but some inspiration in the middle of the week.

The first lightweight prototype.....
A few more with a military or industrial theme - all play on Land Rover's claim to be the "world's most versatile vehicle".
Finally, this is a bit of a sad one - but the wreck itself is (in)famous:
A Mrs Ward and her young children were driving this Land Rover along a rural road early in the Rhodesian bush war (1973) when it hit a land mine - the first of many. Mrs Ward managed to pull her children safely from the wreck but died from her own wounds later on. The wreck was taken to a special engineering site and carefully examined to see what might be learned from it. It was subsequently spirited off to South Africa for further investigation and from that evolved a sequence of anti-mine vehicles including several variants based on Land Rover running gear and the better known Casspir and Buffel trucks that were used for the South African border war and exported all over Africa.
