Land Rover has created a bespoke Laaand Rover for BBC programme Shaun the Sheep, in an spin-off from the Wallace and Gromit franchise.

The series will run on BBC1 and CBBC on Sunday evenings and feature a Land Rover Series 1 as driven by the Farmer and sheep dog Blitzer.

Land Rover craftsmen created an exact replica from a model used on the series.

“It is based on a Series I, but completed using a mix of several models,” said Roger Crathorne, Land Rover technical communications manager.

“We used a 1951 rolling chassis with a 90-inch rear body. There are panels used from a variety of Land Rover Series vehicles including 2007 Defender panels.

“It has taken seven weeks to complete and has now passed its MOT making it completely road-worthy.”

Shaun’s Land Rover will be heading to various events around the country this summer including the Goodwood Festival of Speed, 22 to 24 June and The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, 30 August to 2 September.
