I'm putting this in the series forum as you guys will appreciate it because of the age...
apologies in advance for the watermarking on the video, this footage has to be protected, for other reasons.
This is some ultra rare footage of a Land Rover Tractor, this was a prototype which was being driven by a guy from R&D from the Rover works. the reason I know this is that it was my dad who owns this footage and was filming it on the day, and this is his film. We recently transcribed another few hours of footage from his old Land Rover cine films from that era
I'm told, often the R&D guys would show up with various prototypes at the very early events such as these, in this case it was some sort of Land Rover Tractor, which ended up being recovered by a Culbertson after it failed in the lake
I've never seen any other footage or any photographs of this Land Rover Prototype Tractor, this could be the only record that exists of it outside of the R&D at the Rover works, or simply the only film of it.
Land Rover made a tractor, here it is...
Enjoy.
