Answer to this question depends on whether it was the 1st of the 4 built.

If the answer is yes, then the correct answer would be the Morgan firm in cooperation with Panther Westwinds and 70.

If it is one of the latter 3 that were built, then the correct answer would be

Welcome to AutoPuzzles jx3.  Sadly it's not a Morgan/Panther Westwinds co-operation, but do keep on trying.

Hello again Djetset, I guess your puzzles suit well to me  :) I believe there is 1985 Jagdwagen Range Rover converted by west German company "Karaosserie Friedrich Rometsch" for East German general Erich Honecker on this picture.

There is a typo in the headline: it should be Karosserie.

More info on this car:
This is one of four Range Rovers that were converted to hunting cars for the East German Chairman of the Council of State, Erich Honecker. The first one was built in 1982 by Morgan in collaboration with Panther Westwinds. The pictured car is the second one, built by the West Berlin coachbuilder Rometsch in 1985. The other two Range Rover hunting cars were also built by Rometsch in 1987 and 1989.

You're right, thanks for correcting.
