Land Rover Defender

 Military vehicles are not noted for their comfort. They are built to be rugged and usually fairly simple mechanically, allowing for ease of repair. So selecting an ex military vehicle for a long road trip - even if off-roading is part of the plan - seems pretty much guaranteed to involve discomfort.

The Rover name however does imply luxury, and so there is a civilian version of their military model and may give a bit more pleasant ride. 

I am not sure which version I was looking at this morning when I spotted this unit.

Some interesting features are the combined light bar  / brush guard. I am surprised that it doesn't have a high mount snorkel / breather, so deep water driving is not in its repertoire (and the U-1995 number plate is not significant).

The German license plate however does indicate a Saxony home base.
