I love everything about this. I had no idea that Plaxtons ever built anything like this, and it pleases me that they built it to the same profile as their coaches, as well as using that classic (yes...classic) brightwork down the side. I would quite happily live in this. Might change that sticker to say Chemsafe Cottage. carburettor, Asimo, Yoss and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrubworks Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 6 hours ago, grogee said: Khan victim, £7k Brum. We need a thread for 'Obvious Drug Dealer Chariots'. https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/2007-land-rover-range-rover-sport-36-tdv8-hse-5dr-auto-estate-diesel-automatic/1423047070?utm_source=com.atomczak.notepat&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_android I can vouch that Mr Khan is an arrogant, tasteless little tosspot, and that his creations are laughable garbage. I used to work for another company that customised JLR vehicles when the original Defender was still being made. We were given two brand new 110 Defender Station Wagons, fresh from the Kahn shitshops, to have automatic gearboxes fitted (one of our services). They had crap aftermarket (probably fake) bucket seats fitted in the front, and all the seats had been retrimmed in Burberry-style chav fabric; think the retro plaid seats you get in Golf GTIs now, but about 10x worse. Stitching quality was nowhere near as good as OEM. They'd also lined the dashboard in chav plaid, and fitted a metal steering wheel that was about as thick as it was wide (probably like the person who ordered it). The rear load area had had the useful seats removed, and a no-doubt eye-wateringly expensive audio system installed. Just what you want in a dedicated offroad vehicle. There were other crimes besides, which I can't quite remember. On the outside, the thing was covered in shitty little extra LED lights front and back, and had plastic stick-on arch extenders (yes, stick-on), the sort that cover the entire front wings and rear quarters, with fake plastic chrome cap screws to make them look like they were bolted on. They were also fitted with normal Defender Sawtooth alloys, but had Khan centre caps that probably trebled the cost (I have my suspicions that the alloys were actually sawtooth replicas). Any actual functional mods to the machinery? Nope, not a single one. Standard engine, suspension, tyres, axles, etc. All just superfluous shit. We fitted the gearboxes, and then rang up Khan to come and collect them. For two weeks they ignored us; probably figured that we could just provide them free indoor storage until they could be bothered to take them back. My boss even rang up Mr Khan directly and he basically said, "Nothing to do with me, ring the workshop.". Eventually my boss just rang up the workshop again and said, "We're no longer putting them inside at night, we're just going to dump them at the curb. You've been told." Funnily enough, the next day a couple of bellends from Kahn turned up and took them away. Twats.
