Ah Kahn, tarting up cars for scum with money.
Tartingup + "Scum"(as you put it) = Healthy Profit.I always find Kahn threads strange in their viritol.
Don't like it? Cool. Looks s
t? Fine. But you can't argue with what he is trying to do.I get the feeling he has done more for the UK in terms of promoting the British automotive aftermarket business that many other automotive businesses held in high regard by some PHers.
I'm not a fan of most of his designs, but some are OK - but one day I feel he will get something very right. Seems to be a forward thinking and innovative businessman, who is a petrolhead.
Just a thought.
If this was an official LR product half the people objecting to it would be cumming in their pants over it.
Surely a piss take?

Well, it does explicitly say "all wheel drive" and "6x6" in the ad...Liquid Knight said:

Not possible that it has been approved as it is now on a '64' plate, unless Kahn went through full EU Type Approval process like all major auto manufacturers do.

I thought it was funny personally.
I also don't think "aftermarket" actually caveats against what I said, I certainly stand by it. It is an abortion of a vehicle, and I cannot disagree more with anyone who says this man is a car enthusiast given he spends his days designing things to ruin them. Inside a warehouse filled with people who look like they should be the discovery program called "the garage", he's there hacking away at things real engineers pain-stakingly designed. Then rolling them in Swarovski crystals.
Frankly if you own one of these you should have your DSS payments stopped, your Burberry cap set on fire, then be sterilised. With rusty garden sheers. It's a piece of scrap which pushes no frontier except by which to demonstrate the incredible stupidity of people regarding their adoration of brands, and how expendable income in no way correlates with intelligence or class.
Finding idiots to sell crap to under the guise of producing a brand, doesn't make you an entrepreneur, it's been done a million times before, it makes you an oxygen thief. If this is the way of the industry, or subdivisions of it are heading, count me out. I'd rather be seen getting out of a sheep.

Full of inconsistencies about how many wheels are driven, the item specifics section says 4 wheel drive so maybe Kahn aren't sure themselves. Interesting point about the 64 plate, as this was built specifically for Geneva and the implication from Kahn at the time was that it was finished very shortly before then there almost certainly wasn't time to test and register it even as a new build through the IVA process which does indicate that it is still on the original basis.
Maybe someone from Kahn can explain the details, I'd certainly want to know a lot more before parting with £200k!

If they used all-new parts, it could easily have been IVAd and go on a new plate.TooMany2cvs said:

If they used all-new parts, it could easily have been IVAd and go on a new plate.Since a 6x6 chassis from a Type Approved Manufacturer doesn't exist, they wouldn't be able to claim it as a Kit Car, and therefore wouldn't be able to claim a Age Related Registration for it.
Land Rovers have been available as 6x6 since the 60's so I'm sure a loophole still exists.
The chassis has been radically altered so it should be IVA'd. Looking at the eBay details M.O.T due 2018 the Khan boys maybe relying on the three year rule to bypass the IVA.
