The Land Rover Sculpture was commissioned by Land Rover (surprise surprise) and was fabricated by Littlehampton Welding, which also made Thomas Heatherwick’s East Beach Cafe.

  11. stev Says:

    its not art, its not a sculpture. I guess it is an advertisment display to show city drivers what theese cars could do if there wouldn’t be gravity…. ?

    Price of steel these days, it must have cost a fortune!!

  17. Miss Golightly Says:

    Nice to see the 110 was the one that made it to the top.
    Are there oily puddles on the ground to make it authentic?
    Was this Ford Land-Rover or Tata Land-Rover?

  18. tom Says:

    i have no words to express how amazed i am about this project!
    its simplicity delivers the message straight away!
    amazing advertising as well as piece of art!

    congrats to all involved on it!

    somebody understands what makes these vehicles so interesting - makes a change vs. the usual stuff

    that may be the worst piece i have seen i a long time…
    not only is it stupid… it looks bad.
    made by money, not skill.
