Cambridge Safari & the Urban Land Rover

Cambridge is not a great habitat for old trucks. On the ride to school HBB did point out this nimble and neatly configured SWB Land Rover.  One of my favorites. Were you following AL a few years back when we were reporting from the Netherlands you might have noted our interest in the Dutch obsession with Land Rovers. L-R's play 2 different roles in the NL, from what we can tell. They are very high-status personal vehicles, which cost the owner a lot of euros in license tax before they're allowed on the road. Since commercial vehicles are taxed differently L-R's are also quite common as commercial/service vehicles, farm trucks, etc.  But was strange in such an urbanized, civilzed and densely populated corner of Europe to see so many L-R's rumbling about.
