Not the only one left in existence, of course, but still an unusual Land Rover.
I think somebody in this NG should buy it... Any offers?
It's not what it appears, or is claimed to be... :-(
Hit me with your rhyhm stick, hit me, hit me...
A very strange wagon
If it were restored it would look like....

i thought they were yellow and black (saw 2 of them last week as it happens).

The Citicab was, yes...
Snota Dread, itsa hacked up mocka, possibly based upon a Dread, and may once have been a Dread, but certainly isn't now...
No Dread, as made, was street legal, the cab's been raised, windscreen too big and lots of other little givaways...
Still nice, though, if you like that kind of thing.
Camper? in a Dread? I take i he's only 3 feet tall, then?
Looks very close to the original though. Admittedly the original was impossible to see out of, and that lighting configuration was completely daft.
Can't deny I'm tempted, but I can't afford it, and I have much larger issues in life to be starting on a thing like that.

I guess making the cab larger (and as a consequence, screen bigger) is a superb idea - at least if you like avoiding street furniture, but it's now well out of proportion and looks something like you'd see the local teen-wankers driving on a Friday night...
Well, I guess I'd just hope that those 'larger issues' eventually become 'smaller', or at least, 'less pressing', and that you get all 5 (or is it 6?) numbers in the Lottery - as I'd quite like to see what you'd do with it :-)
I'd just paint it purple... imagine that!
I'm not rising to that feed line....
Yeah you would.

Notwithstanding having been in one of those - la belle chance: un tout ronde bon ouef!
Wheelbase does not look right. Still, am tempted to put a fiver on it ....
I'm assuming its only gonna be for Show purposes.
He took one to the "War and Peace" show a few years ago, and I drove it round the camp sites for about half an hour, (bloody hard work), left hand drive, manual 'box, and ZERO visibility, tho I think I have my photo taken more in that half hour than in the rest of my live in total.
Ah, a dolls house 101 - kinda sweek I guess...
And how long did it take you to get the crick out of your neck? :-)
