Designer Gerry Judah attached Land Rovers to a 34-metre high steel framework at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England last weekend.
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.
Here are some facts and figures from Judah:

OUTSTANDING. I would use rusty cars here ;-)
wow, that’s one nice advertisement billboard for land rover :D
how the heck did they get those up there? that was some feat! i love land rovers and land rovers in midair on a big wiry steel sculpture..thats just cool!
so…what’s the cost of steel these days?….
Genious!! Very Original!
nice idea!
shame they stuck the land rovers on it.
well well
Dude, I like Trucks
I wonder where I can git some of those ultra sticky tars (tires) so I kin drive up
the Gerkin!
Yeeehaw!
Amazing fantasy
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…. ?
gerry not jerry
utterly superfluous!! for a landrover.what happened to sustainable issues?
Very expressive.
Looks like an OSA London project?
Price of steel these days, it must have cost a fortune!!
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?
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.
Its amazing, perfect
Oh dear a mistake, On the seventh photo the steel works looks like a stallion and with a bit more steel it could be a stallion.
A few Ferraris and there you have a buyer for an old Land Rover sculpture.
Not bad and its green to re-cycle.
Mind you so are kit-cars and i have a Pembleton Brooklands with the BMW motorcycle engine.
