Not how I would build it, but I do rather like it! Reasonably valuable vehicle there so can revert to nearer original at any time. The cheekiness is the best thing, no need for doors, wipers, windscreen, belts, tax, mot, airbags, etc etc, this country really should be celebrated!

Not my kinda custom, but well done for saving it from the scrap heap. Some people might be surprised at how many similar builds there are around at the moment.

Expected more from you mr 'shack. It's a giggle and should be celebrated as such.

It's mostly P6 Rover under the Landie panels if memory serves. I love it, it's even less practical than my caddy!

Not P6 but P4 as they have a separate chassis. smile

I very much work on the philosophy that if a car makes you smile when you see it, regardless of the reason, then it is a good car.

This one I think is good in a positive way. I love the fact that the patina has been retained and that it is so utterly incongruous with its origins.

It could almost be a parody of the evolution of the SUV from rugged, remote off-roader to road focusses style product.
