Looks like the guy is driving with one hand with his other elbow resting on the window. I would be holding on for the landing

I believe that is the Bowler Wildcat, a versionI have never seen. But it looks JUST like one!
Do a google image serch and you can find tons of pics of past ones.
And Top Gear did a test with one. Its like a Land Rover rally truck.

I think it is a Freelander. Thought it was a pretty cool pic.

It is a Bowler, it's the newer version of the wildcat. I think it's called the "venom" or something extreme like that.

Edit-It's called the "Nemesis"

this thread was started before my time, but they actually did crate bowlers with the looks of all three a freelander, a defender and a range rover. here is the video of Top Gear racing the defender inspired Wildcat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLvlfAyduvA

now Bowler produces a truck called the Nemesis. a street legal version and a off road only version. with some resemblence to a range rover sport in the tail end.

I just had a friend over from England he is in the army and we were talkin about all sorts of Land Rovers and he was telling me how they are trying to get rid of a load that were built for the conflicts in northern ireland but are not safe enough for Afghanistan so instead they just let the army guys take em off road and destroy them so they can be replaced. Then he told me about one he commands that there is only 3 in the world and two are in the royal army, and they are defenders 110's painted all white with a 60 ft telescoping antenna tower that comes out of the roof and 4 stabilizers that come out above the wheel wells to support the weight and it relays data and voip calls back to base. we tried looking online but he said they are classified...
