RE: Kahn 'Flying Huntsman' announced
Discussion
Soon to be found driven by someone with more money than taste looking to make a rather large statement parked up outside a coffee house in Kensington...
On the positive, at least he's tried to create something himself rather than just gluing tacky plastic accessories and interiors to range rovers

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.
I agree. 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.

I think his stuff is awful but he has had the foresight to see that modern British money does like this stuff. He's taking British cars and blinging them up in Britain.
The demand is there and it is obviously far better that someone does this work here rather than yet another foreign engineering firm seeing a niche and sucking money out of the UK.
Seeing as most people who rile against these products are driving around in absolutely awful and bland German utility diesels I don't think their view is all that important. And let's not forget the little fact that some people don't like seeing brown people with money

Surely anyone buying this would always be hankering after a half track rear......Is it an option ?
If you think of something for a Land Rover, it's already been done. Laird Centaur - http://www.arcaneafvs.com/lairdcent.htmlYou know I don't generally begrudge anybody who has made it big in life through their own hard work and determination but..........
I have never seen anything stylish or remotely attractive coming out of the Kahn 'laboratories'. Not even an after market alloy wheel. I also consider I am a person of decent taste and as a result I'd get really cross when I saw their ad's in magazines. So how is it they are so successful? And who is it who buys the tat they produce?
I really would like to know and understand as this just leaves me totally flummoxed.

I hear what you're saying - however I've always found their 'conversion' of the JK Wrangler strangely compelling.I have never seen anything stylish or remotely attractive coming out of the Kahn 'laboratories'.

Would I buy one? If I had Lotto win type money - probably.
I actually kind of like that, providing it all actually works.
A (very, very wealthy) friend of mine had a 6x6 Landie. In his words, "it'll climb a tree!" This was in addition to his 993 Turbo race car, 997 GT3 track car, 427 Cobra Replica, 289 FIA Cobra replica, Factory Five Cobra Daytona Coupe replica (which he also raced), two 1957 Ford Thunderbirds (yellow for him, pink for the wife), Corvette Grand Sport replica, and a GENUINE Shelby GT350 Mustang (the original one). He invariably buys a new toy every year. Oh, and his house has an elevator (AKA a "lift") in it!
He's since sold the Landie and it currently resides in the Northeast (Connecticut, IIRC). I believe this is a pic of it (I only have one, crappy photo of it, taken at night with an old VGA cell-phone camera). It was modified by a guy down in FL and is proper 6x6.
