'Tomb Raider'. styled as 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'. is a media
franchise that originated with an action-adventure video game
series focusing on the archaeologist-adventurer Lara Croft who
travels the globe searching for lost artifacts and infiltrating
dangerous tombs and ruins.
A large selection of additional media has grown up around the
video game series. most notably a 2001 film adaptation featuring
Angelina Jolie in the title role. In the first film. she teams up
with Land Rover to penetrate the Cambodian jungle and defeat the
forces of greed.
The film. rather like Angelina Jolie herself. was a massive hit
and the Land Rovers themselves also became something of a cult
icon. As a result. Land Rover took a standard double-cab 110
Defender off the production line and gave it to their 'Special
Vehicles Department'. With over £7. 00 worth of additional
equipment and some custom paintwork. the Limited Edition Tomb
Raider Land Rover was born. as confirmed in a supporting email.
This can be further authenticated by the fact that the bulkhead
inside the engine bay is still dark green. left over from the
example they 'borrowed' from the original production line. A
further 100 units of the 110" Defender and 100 of the 90" Defender
were subsequently built and sold. This original pre-production
example (1 of 2) however. has been lost in the mists of time. Until
now.

Painted dark metallic grey with special badging and details. the
Tomb Raider came equipped with a roof-rack. additional spot lights. br/>front and rear remote winches. bull-bars and snorkel as well as
uprated shock absorbers and springs. privacy glass and a category 1
alarm/immobiliser & tracker. This. the very first Tomb Raider. br/>also has upgraded quilted leather seating. air-conditioning and the
exclusive Tomb Raider plaque.

"It goes where others stop. it goes where most wouldn't even look
and its equipped with everything you could possibly throw at it. " -
