This is pre-production Land Rover Llama number two, an earlier mock-up on a 110" chassis having been destroyed. Testing was carried out at Bagshot and after many hours of evaluation the concept was dropped by the MoD in favour of the Reynolds Boughton 4x4.

Had Land Rover had its own turbo diesel engine at the time, or access to an alternative diesel engine that could have been mated to an automatic gearbox the outcome might have been different. Trials were rushed through and it is thought that the vehicles tested were simply not ready for a head-on comparison with other makes. Following the MoD trials the project was cancelled.
