This is the "Lagonda SUV" prototype from 1949. DBT's (David Brown Tractors) internal name:"DB Terra Magister". Engine: Petrol-4-Cylinder-Lagonda converted to Diesel (AD4 / 35-R42). Only one prototype built. The project manager, John Cullen, has been headhunted from Rover-company and envolved in the "Land Rover"-developement before.

Gosh, it seems your knowledge knows no bounds!

I've been researching post-war Lagonda models for some time now for a possible future book project, but I only discovered this one myself quite recently. I'd not seen it referred to as the Lagonda SUV before until a certain website mentioned it, from which your answer seems to be have been taken verbatim. Another point to you (with your Expert status now very close), and since posting this puzzle, I have realised that it is a repost, so it will probably be merged shortly.
