First seen in Mombasa at start of film ![[Image: 02-08lrover.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/02-08lrover.jpg) ![[Image: 02-08lroverb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/02-08lroverb.jpg) ![[Image: 02-08lroverd.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/02-08lroverd.jpg) ... then Nairobi 14-15 onwards - main and ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswb.jpg) ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswbb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswbb.jpg) ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswbc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswbc.jpg) ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswbd16-20.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswbd16-20.jpg) ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswbe.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswbe.jpg) ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswbg.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswbg.jpg) ![[Image: 14-17lrovernairobiswbh.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/14-17lrovernairobiswbh.jpg) Seems there were 4 Royal Review Land Rovers built 1953-54 intended for the Royal Commonwealth Tour and known as "State I/II/III/IV" (State III info from Bonhams auction), but may have been earlier as well (see Comments entry here - /vehicle_1007646-Land-Rover-80---Series-I-L31-1948.html ). Nice TrueScales model says 1954 88" Series I. 71BP01 doesn't match anything Kenyan but might be UK RAF Transport combination - possibly another royal fleet toy brought from UK on the Britannia?? |

I found this...State Cars; 1953 Land Rover Series I 1997cc 'State IV' http://nice-reg.co.uk/number-plates/royal-53.html 71BP01 possibly looks to be post 1949 Army registration to me. |
