After reading his diaries I cannot look at this without seeing Alan Clarke. He did his campaigning from the back of a Land Rover. Its interesting to note that Corgi tune into politics and bring out this model, The 1964 general election was a big deal, probably the first modern media-driven election, and according to Harold Wilson ending 13 years of Tory misrule. It actually began 15 years of flip-flopping between governments and mess. Alan's crew got back in in the end.

This is quite a nice example of a not very common variant of the 109" Landy. There should be a lady researcher handing out campaign literature but she appears to have gone for a tea break.
