LAND Rover, in conjunction with Gerry Juddah, plans to create an eye-catching automotive sculpture in front of Goodwood House at this year's Festival of Speed in July to mark the company's 60th anniversary.

The impressive structure will incorporate an original 1948 Land Rover, a selection of vehicles from the company's model range, finished with the acclaimed LRX concept cross-coupé.

Lord March said: "Land Rover represents our British-inspired festival theme perfectly with a true pioneering spirit and an enviable global reputation.

"This year's central feature will celebrate a significant landmark anniversary for one of the world's most revered car marques, and will be one of the biggest and most memorable displays to date."

Land Rover will also showcase the special edition Defender SVX, launched to mark the anniversary.

The SVX - the most stylish and feature-packed version that Land Rover has ever produced - still bears a strong visual resemblance to its 1948 predecessor, but inside the SVX models boast satellite navigation, Recaro seats and iPod compatibility.

The Land Rover Terrapod and mini-terrapod will also be available for those who want to test out the off-road capability of Land Rover's key products. Proceeds will be donated to the British Red Cross.
