Is Overfinch Chav?
Discussion
When I first started driving I always lusted after an Overfinch Classic Range Rover, not for any body modifications but for what was under the bonnet.
These days, Overfinch seem more about body kits. I see similar things, like Project Khan as Chav central, but I'm strangely attracted to the FFRR below

I don't about know chav, but body kits on a 4x4 are completely stupid for the completely stupid. I mean would you fit a snow plow to an Elise or mud terrains to a Ferrari?These days, Overfinch seem more about body kits.

A Landy is an off road vehicle, if you make it so it can't off road then you really are missing the point and should have bought a car or a 2wd SUV.
I wouldn't describe Overfinches as CHAV in the same way that a lot of the recent 'bespoke' Land Rover styling kits are.
There is a long history there, which gives it some legitemacy.
Overfinch stopped doing heavy engineering conversions in 2004 after the arrival of the supercharged Range Rover - it was making more power than their 580S L322 conversion which was a stroked 4.4 BMW V8 - so they concentrated on styling, interior and remaps.
When they went bust the remnants and name were bought by the Khan family, I believe.
Up to the P38 630R Overfinches were always rather subtle and my main concern would be that they don't do anything too outrageous - they seem to be heading in that direction lately with the purple interior on their Defender demonstrator.
I have an Overfinch Discovery with a 6.3 Chevy in it - it sits lower and has has an agressive stance and slightly wider track, but apart from that, and a distinctive exhaust and some subtle badging you would not know it's potency.
Surely that was the point.
In saying that a friend has a 2005 black genuine Overfinch RR with a lovely interior, decent styling pack and Supersport alloys and it does look very nice - however the let-down is the arthritic TD6 engine, despite the re-map and bigger intercooler.

Originally, that WAS the point...Surely that was the point.
...now, they're just naff styling kits.
As you say, "You pays yer money..."
