“Petunia” – 1965 Land Rovers Series IIa Regular ex 2 Para 
Petunia is a 1965 ex-military Series IIa SWB. 

She was dispatched from Solihull on the 28th May 1965 and spent the first 10 years with the Parachute Regiment touring the world. She was demobbed in 1975 and painted bright yellow (with a yard brush!) working on an airfield in Lincolnshire as a follow-me vehicle.

Her current keeper discovered her in 2005 with 38,000 miles on the clock. She's had many adventures since and hopefully many more to come.
