That one has been around for a while. It was I one of the LR mags not too long ago too.

The guy that built it has obviously lavished a lot of money and effort on it, but to say his estimate of its' worth is exaggerated is an understatement Rolling Eyes Darren

I think he is banking on it being bought and exported to the USA in the next couple of years where it is probably a realistic price ....

Maybe. I'm not sure how advertising it in Yorkshire helps though.

It's always billed as a 'show car' too, whatever that is. I've never been to a Land Rover show where that amount of chrome would go down well. Perhaps he should have bought a Toyota Laughing Darren

I seem to remember seeing that 90 at Billing a few years ago, everything was chrome - even the high-lift jack. The guy was so paranoid about stuff getting nicked from it that he was sleeping under it!

Don't understand that sort of thing myself - but each to his own....

2 things though - why the red front lights? No car has that so what's the point, even for a 'show vehicle'

Also - which is very strange on a 'show vehicle' - if you open the full size pic from the front page on the website it is zoomable - zoom in on the front number plate.... has the old holes in it from where it was previously screwed on, and said holes are stained and cracked ! If you are putting all the bling on, surely a few quid on a new plate isn't gonna break the bank! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
