Meet Bracken - the second Land Rover to join the Off-Road Experience fleet at Goodwood.
Meet the Fleet
Motor Circuit

The second Land Rover to join the fleet was named ‘Bracken’ because of her military past, the visual signs for which are much more evident than on her comrade ‘Bramble’.
She left the factory August 1966 and was immediately drafted into the Army. Following her demob, little is known of Bracken’s civilian life until she passed into the hands of an avid Wiltshire-based Land Rover restorer in the early 2000s.

He rebuilt Bracken on a new galvanised chassis and made sure she bristles with military detail – vertically aligned front side lights/indicators, headlamps with metal outer bezels, a six-way light switch that controls front and rear lights separately for various ‘convoy’ settings, a metal blackout on the rear number plate light, twin fuel tanks with changeover switch, plus the distinctive yellow ‘bridge plate’, which was used to record the maxi mum weight capacities for the vehicle and any trailer.

Following her restoration, Bracken passed to one of Goodwood’s race instructors, who happens to live in the same Wiltshire village as the re storer. Bracken spent several happy years exploring the byways of Salisbury Plain before joining the Goodwood fleet in June 2017.
