western Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I think it's hideous, not what Defenders are for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 3 1/2 grand is cheap - you could buy it and put it back to original and end-up with a very tidy 90/110 for not a lot of money. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee_arthur Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 is it just me or the fact the seller didnt give any pictures close up or to the other side worrying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I saw this at one of the shows-Peterborough I think-what a crock of pooh that really is up close it's worse than it looks in the photo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I moved this from the Defender forum so that a wider audience might appreciate the vehicle in all it's <cough> glory <cough>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwyll Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Didn't Jeremy Clarkson do something similar with a Fiat on Top Gear a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landy'd Gentry Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 This is about as useful as non alcoholic vodka! Is this a care in the community project? Or the result of some one's twisted psychosis? NO NO NO NO NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 This springs to mind when ever I see any stretch limo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errol209 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 So, other than making a 230 inch Defender, what else has been acheived? Improved breakover angle? Err. no. Improved ride comfort? Methinks not. Better turning circle? Ha ha ha. Simplified rear transnission? No. DVLA "issues" dealt with? No. Brakes upgraded to deal with extra running weight? Doesn't mention it, so assume no. All in all, no point really. If I were going to do this kind of thing, at least I'd do something worthy of a few ooohs and aaaahs, like an 8x8 Range Rover or something. There are 100s of things like this on the road, and this one misses the essential Land Rover point - its a go-anywhere Meccano kit that often looks better with a few scratches and a bit of mud on it.

streaky Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 When you think about it....that has to be one of the easiest stretched vehicles to make. Hardly a luxury Limo like most of the others you see though is it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
