Filmed where? It's essentially a 109" Series 3 Station Wagon, but the door handles are unusual making me think of some CKD license built offshoot from somewhere. |

Turkey, as shown by the other cars in the same episode. Turkish manufacturer Otokar made Land-Rovers under licence, but I can't find any photos of Otokar models looking like this. |

The scenes with the Land-Rover are set in Syria near the Turkish border, but I guess they filmed indeed everything in Turkey... |

Claphand wipers on a single-pane windscreen Landie is an odd combination. Matas of Istanbul assembled Landies from 1959 for a few years (S2a 88" and 109"), then stopped until a new burst in 1974 (including S3 88" soft top) but that seems to have died down fairly soon afterwards. Ottokar then stepped in from 1987 as Turkish government wanted military Landies and offered civilian One Tens alongside. Lots of special military/government versions emerged until 2000 or later. I'd guess late 80s onwards One Ten, but can't decipher the combination of S3 grille, black headlight surrounds and arches, door handle format, plus the weird wiper/screen mix (which doesn't match any UK build for any market as far as I know). So a local build somewhere - Ottokar is a good possibility if the location fits, plus maybe Santana who got into several unexpected places and did lots of strange feature mixing'n'matching. |

Otokar's website says that they first assembled Land-Rovers in 1966 but doesn't say how long that arrangement lasted. The timeline entry for 1987 says "Manufacturing of tactical wheeled vehicles under the license of Land Rover Defender", which might or might not mean that they were already making Land-Rovers but Defender production began then. https://www.otokar.com.tr/about-otokar/heritage |

They stopped doing the roof in this style around 1987. If it started life as a 110 SW it would be an early one. |

Rear seen here![[Image: i001376017.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/i001376017.jpg) - small lights in 70s/80s style (maybe later for non-UK builds??). Whoever did it and wherever they did it, it looks as if they were working from 1970s S3 starting point, adding later elements such as windscreen. And they used the unusual double-skin roof which Solihull developed for hot market exports; Santana adopted it on some models (so did Costa Rica!), but no idea who else did/did not |
