Last photo I got before the rain picked up and I called it a day (got a couple more but they're all blurred)
The Range Rover in the background was registered in Brighton and has been untaxed since the 26th of December 2003, which also, curiously enough, is the same day it seems to have had a change of owner.
I'll head back there and get better photos whenever it isn't rainy, as there was a lot more interesting stuff, like another 3 or 4 Rover Metros, a Montego estate, and an old Mercedes van. (which you can slightly see in the top right.)
Some might recognise this pic from another site. I took it a few years ago when I worked elsewhere and before I knew I could publish my own pics on FLIKR

An outstanding landmark design that almost single-handedly created the booming market in dual-purpose 4x4s, the Range Rover has remained the class leader, despite ever increasing foreign and domestic competition, ever since. The Range Rover was greeted enthusiastically by both press and public on its arrival in 1970, offering comfortable cruising at 90 mph (145 km/h) and a greater off-road capability than most of its customers would ever need. The fact that the original lasted in production for an amazing 24 years before being replaced in 1994 only serves to illustrate the soundness of the original concept. Indeed, the 'old' Range Rover - evocatively renamed Range Rover Classic - did not disappear immediately but continued to be built for another year alongside the new version.
Finished in typically 1970s Bahama Gold, arguably the best and most desirable colour scheme for an early Range Rover, this example was purchased by the vendor in the South of France four years ago. Since then the car has been partially restored, the paintwork, leather interior, wheels, roof lining, and carpets all being either replaced or refurbished, while all the tyres (spare included) are new. The engine is fitted with a stainless steel exhaust and an Edelbrock air filter and carburettors. This nicely presented car drives very well, running on all cylinders with that beautiful V8 sound! Sold with a French Carte Grise, it represents a wonderful opportunity for the collector of these fast-appreciating classics.
Heading home on the A12, the holiday really feeling like it's over (especially with this Range Rover having a Norfolk plate).
Cartell say it's an EFi, but DVLA list the engine as being a 2.5 diesel.
That's it for my holiday photos from this year. Possibly slightly less than some, but as ever some unexpected surprises and there still seems to be plenty of older stuff around.
This vehicle has a very interesting history. Known as the ‘Beaver Bullet’ it was the first diesel-powered car to maintain an average speed of over 100mph for 24 hours, breaking all diesel speed records for a 4x4. Over three days in August 1986 at the MIRA test track, two diesel-powered Range Rovers took a total of 27 sprint and endurance records. This is the endurance vehicle.
To assist with the record attempt a number of modifications were carried out. Two racing-type fuel fillers were installed on the lower tailgate, a full internal roll-cage was fitted, and passenger and rear seats removed. Radio communications were installed, together with a quick-release bonnet catch and other minor modifications.
The VM diesel-powered Range Rover was not received favourably by the motoring press when it was introduced, primarily because the ‘Top Gear’ show had tested a vehicle that was badly-prepared. The record-breaking initiative was Land Rover’s way of showing how capable the new vehicle actually was.
The car is in completely original and unrestored condition.

If you are offered a lift remember to take a step ladder with you.
The entire rear section is hollow it doesn't even have a floor - there is a bulkhead behind the front seats.
This is no replica, this is genuine Paris to Dakar Range Rover it competed twice in 1981- 1983 rally.
I saw several at garages, but I think this was the only one out on the road/seemingly in regular use.

This is the original prototype NAS (North American Specification) Range Rover, codenamed ‘Eagle’.
It was built in 1986 using the ‘facelift’ body and trim from that period. This is the only known prototype and did most of the engineering testing. It had many advanced features for its time, including amber side lamps, strengthened front and rear chassis, square tow ball socket, higher trim specification, US emissions control with charcoal canister, multi-vent fuel tank, county badge on dashboard, US VIN plate and ‘bing-bongs’!
This vehicle was the beginning of Land Rover’s re-launch in the USA.
Although a little scruffy it is completely original and works perfectly.

2nd time I have posted a photo of this car parking in a disabled bay without displaying a badge.
Seen this time on Newport Retail Park, South Wales.
A long way from where I saw it.....
DVLA says it has the 3.9 V8 engine and has been registered here since 2010.
Aside from the alloys, this Range Rover is completely original, and appears to be in mint condition. It's owned by a relative of Kimoncarspotter98
