I admit it's niche but that must be the best value thing I've seen in a very very long time. I've no idea what you could do with it as there is no drivers seat, perhaps you could sit in the back and drive it from the remote control. But the amount of kit on it is incredible, it must have cost an absolute fortune new. I'm tempted to start my own rebel army. You're dead right someone has done very well there. Those acuators and controllers and hydraulic rams look hideously expensive. If you took all those out and sold them you would still have (most of) a landrover at the end of it.

A load of user choosers at a company I worked at had 1.4L Cavaliers because they could have PAS and Abs as options and be the same price as a 1.6 L Cav/Sierra with metallic paint. I drove a lot of them and didn’t really notice them being underpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree the door mirrors are clumsy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 100% a scam. Nobody in their right mind would ever pay £75 for one of those hateful things, let alone the fact it's a fucking diesel. If there was none of those things left, it'd be several too many. RoverFolkUs, GMcD, Volksy and 16 others 1 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
