Land Rover on Seesaw (1/3)
File: 2018002-0579
Land Rover Owner International Show 2018 at the East of England Arena, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Saturday 15th September 2018.
About the photographs.
This is a heavily modified and customised Land Rover Defender.
At this Land Rover show, they not only show off various Land Rover models on static display, like a car showroom, but also had what they call Live Action event in the showground arena.
What you are seeing is photographs taken from my seat in the grandstand, and here, the showground arena was built with artificial landscaping, to give the feel of a rugged rural terrain.
The purpose of this was to showcase the drivers’ off-roading skills and experience, and to show what those Land Rover vehicles could do.
In those three photographs, one of the Land Rover Defenders is seen driving up two parallel beams on a pivot, in effect, a seesaw for the Defender.
In the first photograph, the driver steadily and slowly drives up the beams, until the second photo showing the Defender balanced on the seesaw. The last photograph shows the vehicle slowly moving forwards and allowing the beams to drop down, so the SUV can drive off the seesaw.
In the foreground is a Land Rover Discovery, and one of the event marshals chatting to the driver.
About the event.
Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough, United Kingdom, and had been publishing the magazine for over 30 years. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.
It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.
The magazine often hosts an annual Land Rover show, known as Land Rover Owner International Show. It is a yearly event ran by the company, and usually during the weekend in September.
The show features a Live Action Arena, where various Land Rovers would drive around the arena, while customised and modified Land Rovers would show their off-road capabilities over a rough ground in the middle of the arena. Included in the show are Club Stands, displaying various Land Rovers, which are often members of various Land Rover organisations (For example: South West Land Rover Club, Wales Land Rover Club, Ladies Land Rover Club, etc., in additional to G4 Challenge, Camel Trophy, RNLI, etc.). There would be stalls selling spare parts, merchandises, food and drinks, etc. Plus some funfair and events for the kids.
