Early days….

‘Lofty’ was acquired by our founder, Brian Bashall, in 1968, the year the Dunsfold Collection was founded. In fact, this prototype 35cwt turbo-diesel was only the second vehicle acquired by the Collection. The vehicle was constructed for trials with the Belgian army in the early 1960s, and Brian found it in a scrapyard in Hounslow. Not for the first time, or indeed the last, was an important and interesting piece of Land Rover history saved from the crusher by the Dunsfold Collection!

One of our most popular vehicles, ‘Lofty’ will be on display at our Show. You can order advance discounted tickets and weekend camping here http://www.dunsfoldcollection.co.uk/land-rover-show
