They all offer custom livery, number plates and commemorative badging to celebrate the association throughout New Zealand.

The provision of the Official Vehicles by Land Rover is key to the successful running of Rugby World Cup 2011 and will be put to good use to ensure that the Tournament is run smoothly over the next few months.” said Kit McConnell, RWC 2011 Tournament Director.
“We are extremely proud to be supporting Rugby World Cup 2011 this year in New Zealand by providing a fleet of vehicles to help with the organisation of the Tournament. These special vehicles will be on sale to the general public once the Tournament has finished in November,” added James Yates, Group General Manager, Land Rover New Zealand.
