German Rapid Response Vehicle

Taken at the recent Range Rover Register/Heritage Museum weekend at Gaydon. This vehicle was driven from Germany and was only retired last year after 30 years service. The condition was immaculate, the owners having only polished it ! Very bright and it stood out in the road run on the Sunday morning from Land Rover Lode Lane to the museum site. The vehicle is equipped with a large generator between the seats and two flood lights. Other equipment was carried but was not in place at the show. I believe this is the third vehicle of this type the owners have had.

Fantastic, the livery particularly and as for those mirrors. What a unique opportunity to see such a vehicle in the UK. Credit to the owners to take the trouble (and the fuel bill) to bring it over.
Walt, do you happen to have a picture of the Commando next to this
