Hi Benny, the 'PINK PANTHER' is a series IIA Land Rover, some III series and a few 90/110 Defenders, adapted for use for the SAS. They had larger fuel tanks plus various other bits and pieces, the reason they are pink is that they thought, at the time, 60's/70's is that this colour offered a better camouflage than greens or tans/beige.

Just to add the camo colour was for the dessert only. I forgot to add that...silly me.

It is to do with how the wavelength of light reflects and refracts in the warm air. At a distance the heat haze given off from the surface distorts the image so the light bouncing off from the object means that the Jeep takes longer to be identified. Also from the air you're more likely to not notice it as much as a tan block...well that was the thinking.
