disco_al Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 that truly ugly rangerover has been on there before two or three times - IIRC it was something to do with longranger at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've seen the range rover a couple of times too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 There was a chap in the eighties (Alvin smith?) who biult a neat beast called strange rover out of TR7 and Range Rover chassis as a rally car and, if my memory serves me correctly, managed to get it homologated.

Mark Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Actually, I quite like the e-type - it rather appeals to my slightly twisted sense of humour! Not sure I'd pay 4.5 grand for it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighouse shed Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 E-Type made me smile but the range rover .................................. Did someone out there really build that with such beautiful attention to detail and blending the whole lot in as one complete car or did he stop quickly and managed to stove the trailer into the rangey and now can't get it out again.

mickeyw Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've seen a 6 wheeler like that before. It's not the Longranger one, theirs is just a 4-wheeler, and even longer by the looks of link The two shots showing a 3/4 front view make it look like a Sankey has run up the a45e of the Rangey As for the E-type creation, I have seen a number of car bodies dumped onto a LR or RR chassis, some good, some not so good. Now I'm no Jag enthusiast, but surely, that's a waste of an E-type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 E-Type job looks like the old phrase around "you can dress a pig in stockings and put lipstick on it - but its still a Pig" RR thing is an abortion with afterbirth on Tyres, Alvin Smiths was one creastion that looked and drove even better than it looked and it looked beatufull, as did his Alicat Creation racer Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thank God it''s a replica E Type shell - otherwise that would be two classics ruined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101sean Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've got pictures of Alvin Smith's creation in action in Peter Pit in the 80s before Greater Crested Newts stopped the fun. Must get round to scanning the pics, got dozens of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part1cle Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I remember seeing the Smith TR7/Range Rover in Radnor when marshalling a rally stage start with 60 & Worcs MC. I'm sure the car was was orange then, it attracted lots of attention, looked very impressive off the line and sounded good. I reckon I've got a CCC mag with it featured somewhere. If I can find the mag it will date when I saw it, late seventies/early eighties I guess. E type - you could have a laugh with it at a classic car show, I can hear the TUT, TUT's now....

Escape Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I always liked the idea of putting an SD1 body on Range Rover running gear. Preferably on air, so you can play with the ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Webster Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Quite like the Jaguar. Alvin Smith's Strange Rover looked even better in its Flying Carrot livery! A real classic and it went well too. There was a SD1 bodied RR that did some Rally Raids in the early-mid 80's. I'll have to see whether I can find a pic.

JeffR Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Here's a poser then. Can't think (off the top of me head) just what vehicle body you could put on a 100 inch or so chassis. I reckon a Scimitar would look quite good, a VW bus would be a hoot, or just to play devils advocate, why not a Bentley Continental Type R? Now that would be worthy of a fatwah!!!!

Bowie69 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Or maybe 2 G-Whizz's side by side, and then two more behind those -perfect for sorting out the bickering kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
