Besides the industrial, agricultural or military applications Series Rovers
nicely suited, many regular people purchased them for use on the family
farm/ranch, at the weekend cabin, for camping and hunting, for off-road fun
and of course the stereotypical safaris where there was lots of camping and
hunting and the like. I guess those are "sporting pursuits".
So the Series Rover CAN be considered a S.U.V., but to be more specific, a
VINTAGE S.U.V.
