I saw LRE2 & LRE3 back in 2014 when I was down on my induction
I wonder if there is an LRE1 ? I think I remember being told that these were made for the South African safaris and bought back by JLR and had the bodies made for them in Solihull Genuine roof racks too (bloody rust magnets  )

I went to the Land Rover factory tour in Solihull in February this year and there were three of these (LRE1,2&3).
Although they run Puma bonnets, they are actually TD5s. |

It looks like a TD5 dash in your first picture. Darren

A 130" has a bad turning circle, these would probably need a turn table!!!!

It would be tempting to fit a steering axle at the back!
This must have been an early attempt by LR to break into the stretch limo market! |
