I wonder if it was something the local Home Guard knocked up, looks like it is made of ordinary steel plate. Wheels seem to date it. Interesting to know what it was built on.

The wheels look humber? and it looks similar to an ironside? But not exactly the same,

Default Humber?

Door shape is wrong. Hood line is wrong. Might have been a mockup for a film or TV production. Or maybe ... a British Isles version of Ned Kelly?

Dear Charlie especially, and others,

It never was a Land Rover, is not a Land Rover, and certainly will never be a Land Rover.

Apart from that I have earthly clue, but Charlie needs keeping on the straight and narrow as it were.

He gets wandering does our Charlie

...don't know who suggested that it was a land rover.

Regardless, if it were closer, I'd have it home.
