Specialist Cars of Malton had an H1 for sale when it was the last Big Breakfast meet last year and i think Mark drove it abit so it might be worth sending markmullen an email, he's a really knowledgeable guy.
Thanks chap!Yes, we've sold one and are just preparing another for sale (painting it black etc).
I collected the last one from Knightsbridge and drove it back to Malton, it was great fun. Driving through the West End on a Sunday afternoon in thick traffic was a little taxing as they are a big old thing and visibility isn't the best but I managed, once you get them rolling they don't actually feel as big and heavy as they are. Fuel is a little excessive, one of the tanks was full when I left London and I put another £179 worth in on the way home.
I was bringing it back on the first weekend of the big snows, the A1 was down to one lane and I was one of the only people out there that was confident of getting home. The one I was in had a pair of 15" HID (xenon) spotlights on the front bar and a remote control floodlight on the roof, perfect for bad visibility!
I have plenty of experiance with the H1. And from someone that is quite used to driving big American vehicles then,the every day use on UK roads can be a bit tedious.Not to do with the size of it.But the width.
Coupled with the fact its a military vehicle and quite spartan and crude inside.After a couple of hours you really have had enough.Last time i used one,it was a pleasure to get back in the H2 for the comfort.Granted they are built like brick s
t houses and unbreakable.But not something i could live with on a day to day basis.

Just come back from the States and they are moaning about $3.99 a gallon whilst we must be on $10 a gallon.

Hideous.Ad says it's an H3 but it's a 2.
Why take a vehicle designed for off-road and stick 30" wheels on it?
