Roadless 109 Forest Rover

Roadless 109 also known as the Forest Rover was a high clearance version of the Land Rover created to travel across the deep furrows found in forests. Conventional Land Rovers were getting stuck on the tops of the furrows so the Forestry Commission asked for a modified version.

The design basically fitted oversize wheels and used cut away body work similar to the latter light weights built for the military.

Only 20 examples are believed to have been built, with only 2 survivors known.
