RE: ?250K Overfinch Range Rover London Edition
Discussion
You've all seen how the Land/Range-Rover, Rolls-Royce and Bentley models are going. These are the people with the money. Footballers, "celebrities", drug dealers, city boys, Americans, Oligarchs, wannabe versions of all the above and, last but not least, China, with India and Brazil waiting in the wings. Personally, I think it is quite tasteful in comparison to their Kahn neighbours a few miles down the road in Bradford. Come to think of it, it is tasteful in comparison to some of the stuff coming out of Crewe and Goodwood too, but he who pays the piper calls the tune, and it is generating a lot of money for the UK, and keeping skilled traditional craftsmen and tradesmen in well paid work.

Those Khan Range Rovers top the bill for general horrendousness. I can't imagine I would ever want to go for a pint with someone who strutted around in one of those (says the chav with the hot hatch addiction). 
I think the last true Overfinch was the 580S based on the old L322 but even that was made redundant when Land Rover launched the Supercharged.
No more engineering and they do little more than tacky body kits, questionable wheels and interior trim these days unfortunately.
Of note is that Land Rover are about to launch their own SVO inspired bodykit and interior trims for the L405 which may be the final nail in the coffin for Overfinch unless they can actually offer something new.

king depressing statement this vagazzaled trinket of the nouveaux riche makes. spookly said:
They've taken an expensive and quality product (other than LR reliability) and ruined it.
I run a Range Rover as my daily driver. I hate to disappoint you, but it's actually not that much of a quality product: the build quality, fit and finish is nothing like as good as the Mercedes S-class that I owned before (and which I'm planning to replace the RR with shortly).
No Range Rover, no matter how blinged-up, is worth £100K, much less £250K...
This is the ultimate in indulgent automobile snobbery. I hate these things with a vengeance. They devour huge amounts of fuel, take up massive amounts of space on the road and in car parks and are simply all about one upmanship. The price of this however is just a joke.
250K for a tractor with leather seats and aircon? You can keep it.

Yep, 2010.http://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonhead...
They got saved and resuscitated, though, by their Leeds dealer. Unfortunately.
Jesus wept.
Utterly vile.

I'd trade a lung for one of these. I can't find any interest in this new one though.
