A batch of 48 pre-production vehicles was built for testing purposes and experimental exercises in body design. Most of these were painted sage green, as previously used in World War II aeroplane cockpits. The bumpers on the earliest examples were integrated as part of the chassis, in contrast to the bolt-on style that was later adopted. This vehicle is therefore one of the oldest surviving Land Rovers in the world. The chassis stamp is ‘R’ for right hand drive and ’04’ because it was the fourth pre-production model built.
