It will be used at each of this year’s PBRC events with ex-Scottish rally champion David Gillanders at the wheel. The car will open each special stage with a demonstration drive and a spectator safety inspection, starting with the Pirelli International Rally in Gateshead on 25 April.
This year’s seven PBRC events will visit venues from the Scottish Highlands to the world famous high-speed Manx International Rally on the Isle of Man.
For the Freelander, there's no fire breathing 400bhp V8 under the covers unfortunately. It's a standard Freelander V6 with just a roll-cage, up-rated suspension system and brake pads to distinguish it from the cars on Land Rover dealers’ forecourts.
