Why not it's only a thing? And in the grand scheme of things not a very rare, expensive or unobtainable thing at that.

Its what they do and they did it to the old model, so why not..
It may also be possible with creative accountancy to claim the money spent as a tax offset within the business.
But to answer the question I would not cut one up simply as I have no need for a LandMaster version at this time. Give it 10 years rust and owners will be doing the same for tray backs :laugh:

Tell that to those of us with unfilled orders....... :laugh: :laugh:

However, it is theirs to do with as they wish.......

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

The problem they will have is that they will be selling a product they cannot source the basic donor car for!

Thinking about it, it is going to be expensive. Whilst the current one they build can be built off a used Jimny or a write-off, this new one had to be built off list price (ex-vat of course) They probably need it to make £5k on top of the vehicle and parts as it's a low volume production. This probably puts it over £20k ex-vat

They will be in a race with shropshire quads and terramaxx to see who gets one out first. Will be an epic advertising thing for them mainly.

I guess they would convert a supplied car. Anyone rich and a bit mad?!
