If I was going to select a car I would not want Harris to bother testing this would be it. 4*4 and non production - just dull, sorry.

strange.. in some ways given the state of our roads this is almost the perfect car...

But. It's so wide. Basing it on a disco/rr sport chassis, hardly shouts b road blasting where width is a premium.

B roads? If you have this, you don't need roads. Ask the farmers that own the fields between your home and your destination if you can just straight line it... or not. They won't catch you anyway wink

Nice test track they have at their HQ as well!

Fantastically silly vehicle, but I can't see it finding many homes in the UK. I'm the middle east, however, I could entirely see the point.

Had a ride in one of these at the FoS. The memory of being launched hard into a rocky path at what seemed like a 45 degree angle will stay with me a long time. Best 20 quid I ever spent.

@Chris:
Bowler Growler?

Isn't that an alternative slang term for a ladygarden?

If they ever go back to the FoS, its worth every penny, and every minute spent in the queue. Brilliant bits of kit.

Saw a road legal Wildcat in Peebles a few years ago complete with plates. I assume that was an aftermarket certification. Amazing things in the flesh. The suspension travel is comedy standards.

You might want to choose a better adjective, because of all things it can be described as, dull it ain't.
