If I had £50K to burn, that would almost certainly by my first choice.

Awesome.

I would love to turn up to an enviromental protest in that

[Smithers Jones]

What are the running costs like on these?

[markmullen]

A superb way to spend £50k, and the same again running it for the first year!

IIRC tyres for these are really difficult to get hold of, some bizarre spec that the manufacturer only makes occasional batches of

Aaaages ago when we had a(nother) 'if you were a lottery winner' thread, that was the very car I chose. Brilliant stuff

290l fuel tank

Would be a bit of a problem at my local pay@the pump forecourt. The most I can get is £59

........if you have to ask.........

[interloper]

Unlike modern bloated SUVs like the Cayenne, X6 etc this really appeals. Properly over the top, genuine off road and on road performance, what's not to like? I want!

Your thinking is at the complete polar opposite to mine with respect to this vehicle.
I simply cannot appreciate a SINGLE thing about it. Nothing, no part of it appeals to me.

Still, it is refreshing that it does appeal to some. Maybe many.

Engine is a Lamborghini QV V12 petrol? WNTL?

[v1paul]

It probably wont depreciate much from there and that is one of the biggest running costs so it might not be as costly as it seems on first impressions.

[Deranged Granny]

I wonder how many people would believe it's a Lamborghini?

Brilliant.

You obviously didnt have Top Trumps 4x4 edition. This vehicle was a veritable ace in the hole. Respect has to be paid, and your PH cap should be suitably doffed.

However I have to add: Its frickin' ugly and looks like a Pope-mobile on acid.

EBay's got 1 on there - but it is £2.5k

[interloper]

Just to add to my previous pots, maybe I'm in the minority but....



Then there is the interior...



With additional out door rear seating!



Plus it has the classic Lamborghini V12, I've always had a massive soft spot for these.

Only £370 to fill.

And you'll need to do it all over again in 650 miles.

[ctallchris]

not a fan of pricey 4x4's (it shouldn't matter if you dump a 4x4 in a ditch it should be a matter of out with the sledgehammer)

however a better spend than a new cayenne for the rarity value if nothing else

[Jasandjules]

50k buys me a DB7 Volante. Simple as that.

Some years ago Scotland and back at a steady 100mph in the TVR saw my fuel card removed...
