Not an expert but it could be an AEC of some description?

Yeah I wondered if it was an AEC Matador

I know someone with a barn who would let me leave it in so I could ignore/restore it over the next 30 years.

Wrong shape and style of radiator and grille.
Just thought of Maudslay though… Could be one of theirs…

You’d assume given what it’s being used for it would be - and there was a civilian 4x2 that preceded the much commoner military 4x4 - good luck finding pics of that…

Or maybe one of these ? It has a Rolls-Royce derived Rover V8 Diesel… Nothing shouts ‘get the fucking fuck out of my way’ more than this imposing looking machine…
