Clarkson was so much better spoken then, almost plummy.

Land Rover's test facility at Eastnor Castle! I'm a little surprised Solihull let them anywhere near the place with a G and LC!

LR bought and stripped down a 463 when they were developing the P38A

 The P38A was the model preceeding the current Range Rover the L322.

I have offroaded at Eastnor Castle in my G and received deep respect from the LR instructors marshalling the course.
On one tricky section they were giving advice on how to tackle the terrain. Two of them peered into the car and in hushed tones one said to the other "full set of difflocks" and assumed for no good reason that this was a car that needed no help.  

It is wonderfull countryside

Great bit of G history. Completely standard '91 GEL, even white wall tyres.
The next time TG tested a G was the Kompressor in the quarry. Haven't got a link unfortunately. Lots more flashy stuff on the production.
