Million Pound Motorhomes - C5

Anyone watching this series?

I caught it last night, where they featured the Duckworth Overland 'Aurochs', which looks like somebody rear-ended a Land Rover whilst towing an Airstream.

It's got a huge amount of craftsmanship in it but £250,000

I would be amazed if they ever sold this at anywhere close to that money.

Price is clearly aimed at billionaires, similar to those resto-mod minis / E-types etc.

Beautiful work, love the image of the bare interior skeleton. Looks like what I'd imagine the inside of a Flying Fortress to be.

Fantastic craftsmanship. Poor design.

I agree with that.

Maybe better with an old Series 1 and a few under-bonnet improvements.

The Land Rover is all right angles snd straight lines. The silver bit should have been more sympathetic.

I just can't help thinking you'd be far better off with either an Airstream + luxury SUV to tow it, or a ridiculously bling motorhome with far more comforts.

Either of which you could have, plus change in the bank.

It comes from the rather obscure 'Field of Dreams' business logic of "if we build it, they will come" (except when they don't)

Saw the programme and really admire the craftsmanship but did wonder who the audience was only 1 bed, only 3 travelling seats and limited creature comforts

Some of the earlier episodes featured some American built ones on coach chassis that were well over a Million dollars
