Presumably one's luggage is taken by a separate car.

I'd like to know what colour it was and that it had 4 wheels before making an offer though

I think the idea is that you supply the vehicle and for £80k they throw bits of dead cow around the inside.

I like it. It is, however, a lottery winners thing.

Are those two photos supposed to be of the same vehicle? One has a circular windscreen, the other (interior shot) is rectangular.

That thing is quite the most revolting and vulgar thing I've ever seen. Is it an early april fools? What an extraordinary thing - take one of the best and most fit for purpose and turn it into a Las vegas Pimp's tarts boudoir...

That site is mental! There's a batmobile, some Lamborghini called a Sogna and that Gallardo turned Mustang thing!

This is awesome though: http://www.jamesedition.com/cars/delage/d8-120/193...

Uncomfortable and noisy. The question of taste may be a new criticism of course...

You're thinking of the wrong kind of shooting.

How does the screen wiper work, it's not going to have a very wide sweep! (Unless it's rotary?)

I'll have you know it is - "single-arm windscreen wiper with rotor drive"

Worth $3m just for that. Probably.

For £80,000 I'd expect them to be able to spell refrigerator properly.

But after all that work, it will still drive like a Defender. You'll still need a left leg that is three times the girth of the other one, and it'll still have the turning circle of an Oil Tanker.

Why bother.

Have they managed to stop the cabin leaking so it doesn't stain the poncey leather and bugger up the computer?

I don't like the Defender, but the motorhome, if you have the money I do think is refreshingly different...
