Dark grey ones aren't.

Wheels give it away. Plus not much point in being armoured & keeping windows open.

The windows in my armoured D3 were rather fixed and rather thick, so getting an arm tan was not an option.
Made a bit of a nonsense practicing shooting through the windscreen etc on the driving course in the UK.
If your job is to shoot at things from a vehicle then an armoured glass is not for you.

Unfortunately during the summer armoured ones are no good with live surveillance jobs.... With all the weight they just overheat when you're pegging it around....

My D3 never overheated, even when you could fry an egg on the dash.
The egg did taste a bit funny though.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
