Yes it is one of 12 prototypes known as Project Road Rover from 1952. It was based on the P4 saloon. Most of the prototypes were rear wheel drive although it is suspected that they did assembly a few with four wheel drive. It's certainly different but not what I would call a pretty looking car. Defender 90XS SW

Although somewhat ironically is very much the description of one of the most popular car types today. The crossover.

"Project road rover"....

Just shows how far into the future the designers at LR could see.... isn't that where 99% of their vehicles spend their time nowadays?

Looks like something Citroen or Renault would have made.
