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!

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!
