All I am asking is a brand name, which is written on the front of the car. Easy, isn't it :)?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with Land Rover

Looks a lot like a Toyota Land Cruiser J6. License-built or Chinese rip-off?

no. I admit it is not easy to find this car on the web, even if you search in Chinese. But it is not impossible either (you see, I also found it by accident :))

I haven't stumbled upon the picture yet, so I will have to stay with trying to determine the maker with logic.  My latest theory is that it is an early SUV (prototype?) by Dadi (Dadi Automobile Group Co., Ltd.) based on the Series 60 Toyota Land Cruiser.

How about a Lièbào, the brand name of Changfeng for variation on a first generation Mitsubishi Pajero?

this brand name is no longer around, in fact it has not been around since the early 2000s.

Here are some clues. The company which produced the puzzle was set up in 1956. In 1995 it was absorbed into a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, which also produced buses. Now another subsidiary of this motorcycle manufacturer would like to make an SUV. Apparently this subsidiary was bought by another company - and some of the sites dealing with Chinese cars mentions the brand name of the puzzle car, in relation to this complex story
