simonr Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I quite like it - it looks almost the way Land Rover would make such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having built/owned one I can comfirm that is the case, they easily get bum heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think it's well done but the rear overhang is way too much for the wheelbase. I'd stretch it to 110" or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Why is it the earlier ones look to have less Overhang on the back again ? They always looks the best proportioned to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It's that perfect 2 door profile with the rear wing . That is very nice indeed , only thing missing is the bonnet mounted mirrors Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 They are super rare and one of the more quirky Land Rover conversions . I'd imagine steering when loaded with Hooke joints was fun . Hope it goes to a collector and is preserved in it's current state while got running and safely driving . I wonder how big the turning circle is ?
