The garage round the corner to work had this in a few weeks back:

I was chatting to the owner, as he was there as well.  I seem to remember that he said it was a civilian vehicle (i.e. never sold to the military) it was a 1949 model and was originally registered in Cyprus.  It got imported into the UK in the late eighties and had a rebuild/heavy restoration recently.  The engine sounds absolutely brilliant.  All of the controls, etc for the freewheel 2WD/4WD are all intact.

The fat bloke with the bad hair is me, the bloke I'm talking to was a random feller who was tending to the green space over the way, he used to drive LRs in Iran in service and talked fondly of such things as using a LR to 'disperse' protestors and how heavy a LR is when laden with squaddies and their weaponry.

Keeping my peepers peeled for more automotive oddities/porridge!

Had a closer look when I was going back the other way and it's missing its front grille, is still on its original tyres, but looks really solid so I'm thinking it was garaged quite early on.

Isn't that the Nisa supermarket? Just up from there (opposite the garage) is a large collection of C6's. Always wondered what was going on there!
