Christiane Amanpour's 'pizza truck'

When an armored Land Rover was put on permanent display in the prestigious UK's Imperial War Museum this month, it brought with it an incredible story of endurance, tenacity and survival.

The vehicle was originally used by CNN's Christiane Amanpour during the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s after being purchased by the network's now diplomatic editor, Nic Robertson.
It went on to serve CNN in hostile environments around the globe before going off on its own adventures, eventually being rescued and restored for posterity in the IWM's American Air Museum, northeast of London.

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Corris Grey

Shows the love we Brits have for Defenders, that despite it not being Military and having no connection to British Forces, the RAF still flew it back so that it might be restored. There can't be many vehicles out there where people would go to such lengths for a strange vehicle and all for just a few crates of beer.... Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

There's a list on the mod website of all the trophy items officially declared after recent overseas tours - it's amazing what did make it back.
