The Land Rover Llama was a vehicle design developed by the British company Land Rover in the mid-1980s. 11 prototypes and a single production vehicle were built during 1986/7 with the hope of winning a contract from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to replace its existing fleet of Land Rover 101 gun tractors. Heavily based on the contemporary Land Rover One Ten, the Llama was intended to be sold on both the military and civilian markets. However, the MoD did not choose Land Rover's design and without the security of these sales Land Rover was unwilling to risk putting the Llama on the market. The name 'Llama' was only the codename given to the development project- the vehicle was never actually given a model name or designation. However, the design is now known to enthusiasts of the Land Rover marque as 'the Llama'. Land Rover as a company went through a period of restructuring in the 1980s.
