Look at the price

Look at the price

I wished that I had run a sweepstake on that. I would have won

Lot of skill needed to use an English wheel, nice job.

 

[dash300]

Yes I do like the skill and engineering and not a bad first effort. They might sell a few. However without knowing their margins as a business I reckon it will need scale and this as it stands might be just too niche. But qwerky retro heritage yes I like it.

Think it’s a marmite moment and defo not at that word I can’t mention.

Look at the price

Didn't see the price, £100 grand?

£350'000


Certainly not worth anywhere near that.
You can buy a luxury 42ft American coach RV for less than £200'000

And it comes with a fully equipped bathroom

 

[Mikey RV]

I like it. But I am not allowed to say about the price.

An Airstream humping a second hand Landy - not for me

 

[dunnah01]

Reminds me of something but not sure what

 

[Gromett]

No.. That is just so wrong. I love the airstream caravans. I love landrovers.

But mixing boxy with curvy like that just looks wrong to me

In a word 'UGLY'

No way I could get enthusiastic about anything Landrover based, should have been dead and buried years ago.

And yet the vast majority don't die, don't get buried and by 1963 is probably greener than a tree being hugged by green people!

 

[DuxDeluxe]

Not my cup of tea but that was a lovely piece of work

 

[bigwood]

The craftsmanship is impressive but not to my liking but I go back to Series 2 Landrovers so they are only meant to be one shape.

Wonderful workmanship but impractical design. You could go anywhere but no solar and NO WASHROOM.

Actually I think its quite ugly too.

 

[Driventemple]

Fugly

 

[Jamesh]

I prefer these much more practical and cheaper.

If I had another van I'd get Wissel to make me one of these!

 

[nicholsong]

Bonkers!

They could have taken a section of scrap aircraft fuselage and stuck it on the back of a secondhand Defender.

£380K and no shower and make-up your bed every night?

I repeat - Bonkers!

Sounds like a company out to make £1M, starting with £5M

Now that just looks like a

Plus I always struggle to get the wave right with a coach built VW.

Is that the by-product of accident ? Love a Landy, love an airstream. But when separated and fully functional. I would say they are taking the piss but I’m not sure there was room to have one.

 

[funflair]

Well I wish them all the best but they won't be getting any of my hard earned cash, I wouldn't mind a look at one in the flesh though.

 

[Landy Andy]

All a Def needs is a roof tent, or a pop top. Not that shiny shite on the back.

 

[mofurt]

They say 70% of Land Rovers ever made are still on the road.
The rest made it home.

(I currently own 2 of Solihull's finest products, as does my eldest offspring).

 

[Drexxer]

They've not even dressed the screws and the pin holes were all over the place!

At Carlight Caravans we had to make sure all the screws (slotted) were dressed, ie all the slots inline, I don't doubt the metal workers skill but I thought the interior was average

As for the price, not a hope in hell!
