This structure was sponsored by Land Rover to celebrate their 60th Anniversary. It was built in layers of welded frames and then single rakers between the frames. The unpainted finish was required to give it a rugged, rock like texture. The structure featured five Land Rovers – one of each model. After the 3 day show it will be dismantled.
