Roger Jones driving the 1986 Land Rover Llama V8 prototype number 1. Dunsfold Collection of Land Rovers Open Day 2011, Dunsfold, Surrey, UK. --- No releases available, but releases may not be necessary for certain uses. Automotive trademarks are the property of the trademark holder, authorization may be needed for some uses. --- Vehicle information: Belongs to the Dunsfold Collection of Land Rovers: Chassis number KHAV7AALFC001, registration number C412 SNP, engine type 3.5 8-cyl petrol. --- Vehicle History: This Llama of 1986 was number 1 of 11 prototypes built to replace the aging 101 Forward Control. With a wheel base of 110" the laod capacity is 1.75 tonne. The axles are similar to civilian Defender 110, but wider, a limited slip differential would have been standard. The chassis is one off, the cab is a fibreglass construction and tilts for engine access. Only the V8 engine was offered on trials vehicles, hence the MOD's relcutance to accept it. Stability was also a problem on early trials.
