quite fancy 1 of these but now 8 yrs old and still pricey,anyone now exact options on it or link to spec-is it easier to make a replica using younger car?
thanks

They are indeed quite pricey,really paying for the 'name/image'....pretty certain its all just bolt on goodies though,same running gear etc,so could easily be done on a newer model (although the colour-Bonnati Grey- is not that commom) Looks great though!

[p1doc]

just what i thought-thanks

The only thing you wont be able to do is put on the genuine "Tomb Raider" badging. You need proof of a genuine vehicle with your V5.

it does look nice

[BLUETHUNDER]

Thats the film version. Production versions were different.

[West4x4]

Was bout to say thats the film one and a lot cooler than the production ones which are pretty standard exceot for pretend roll cage and spot lights

[A.J.M]

The film one is a V8. The 90's and 110's that you can buy are td5 engined.
I quite like them with all the lights etc buy you do pay a premium for owning one.

Or an eBay account.
DVLA couldn't give two hoots what badges are on a car.

No but the main dealers do. Seeing as the badges were comissioned from a jewellers in Hatton Garden.

I've got a 110 Hi cap pickup, I like the idea of making it look like that if I ever get the mechanics sorted out is there a parts list anywhere

Well. Maybe going bit to far. But that was the case with the production vehicles. And if you have one that needs the badges(they do get nicked)and you haven't got a genuine vehicle then you havent a hope of getting them.

And that'll stop people marking up and flogging a normal car as a Tomb Raider how?

[p1doc]

.Because in order to complete the transformation you need the genuine badges to do so. And they can only be ordered through LR with proof of log book. Unless as some have said they are stolen to order.
