Located in Coventry, the heart of Rover country, lies the Rover Test Centre at Gaydon, and on the ajoining property is the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Centre.
The BMIHTC has a rather large collection of rovers, and these are photos of just a few that caught my eye. The set on display is constantly changing, though, there are a number of Land Rovers which are left on display on the grounds, as well as the collection inside.
One of the fiberglass-bodied Series II military 101" wheelbase Land Rovers used on the set of "Judge Dredd". Only one of the thirty-odd vehicles used in the film was equipped with interior trim. The remainder were simply used as vehicle extras.

The origin of this mobile oil can is lost in the sands of time. It is believed (by a number of LROs) that this was designed as a 'gimme' for new LROs, so that the Significant Other could follow behind with a supply of fresh oil.

The man said he could have told us more about it, but then he would have had to kill us, we escaped with this photo.
