Post a picture so we can identify it, but if it's a 5 door, it's possibly a Freelander 2 commercial, which has a 2.2L engine.

It is a Freelander 1 TD4 5 door.
Looks like someone has taken out rear seat, added some non matching carpet and mastic around the windows so that they won't open.
It is a very late reg and possibly one of the last Freelander 1s.

VIN comes back with...
I think if an engineer in Gaydon/Solihull had sealed the windows up like that, showing such little skill, they would have been sacked.
I can't think of any way the F1 could have been a test mule for anything in the F2, they are to different in all aspects.
Some very romantic ideas of the car's history, but I think not.

Windows were sealed up and plated over with aluminium and carpeted sealant could not be seen from the outside only visible after I removed paneled and window tint

It's also missing the SV badges on the wings (which all vehicles prepared by SVO get), and it doesn't seem to have the SVO VIN on the slam panel, which would prove it's an LR prepared special vehicle. No SVO VIN basically means it wasn't done by LR, but by a coach builder, or even an individual wanting a 5 door commercial.

Thanks for your input mate it's a strange 1 just need to be sure as I'm using it as a farm run around at moment

If it has an SV VIN plate on the slam panel (it contains the special order contract number), then Special Vehicles department prepared the vehicle. If it doesn't, then it wasn't done by LR.
