... and also rare Russet Brown color I believe is a post 1979 model (no galvanized bumpers, decal and no more raised letters, no tag on the panel after the bonnet). |

One might also suspect Crayford or MacNeillie of having done these things (but that´s just an idea). |

Same conversion? Link to "www.wods.dk" (Monteverdi?!?) |

The horse box the Range Rover is towing contains not a horse but a mini jet. |

What country is the plate meant to be? |
◊ 2010-06-09 02:06 |
I think it's supposed to be some fictional country in Latin America. |

Is it a Wood & Pickett? Link to "www.1000sel.com" |

I think this is another Anglegrinder Special - see 1st of G-MANN's thumbs and cruddy welding at top of pillar. Also the impractically thin windscreen support without the door frames. Probably locally made for sunny days only - no possibility of any hood attachment to that windscreen frame nor any sign on rear body. All the bespoke specialists suggested - and many others - who did expensive things to Range Rovers would create something much more sophisticated (Wood & Picket, Symbol, Glenfrome, Panther, Vantagefields etc, and even Land Rover Specialist Division), plus interior looks fairly standard in front, even with the old manual gear knob. Also interesting that on a long google search, no-one's claiming credit for the conversion - if it had been a specialist coachbuilder, they would - somehow somewhere - boast about one of their cars being in a Bond movie. |

I was almost sure dsl is right....very disappoiniting for me since I collect 4x4s in 1/43rd scale and felt quite put off there is no real "original". Yesterday, by chance I came across a very, very comprehenasive site on the Range Rover and its conversions...and, finally: dsl WAS right, the car has grinded off window frames (guess so the girl can be seen better)...but it´s not a one-off, that car is a RAPPORT HUNTSMAN: The picture is from the website below, (c) Vidar Eriksen Link to "www.range-rover-classic.com" |

@d&p - well found. Agree a butchered Rapport Huntsman looks very likely. |

Magazine article (Classic & Sportscar, April 2018) on a replica created in Peterborough on a 1982 LHD made-for-F car with 8694XR72 plates says the original was very probably a Rapport Huntsman from general consensus of experts, but is very unusual for a Bond car for disappearing completely off the radar, despite exhaustive efforts by Bond fans to trace what it was and what happened to it. No-one seems to know nothing. |
