yes sir i’m cut from a different cloth October 6th, 2009
When it comes to the question of sports car versus four by four I tend to sway towards the convertible more often than not. As a rule it’s hard to beat a classic convertible [although the Land Rover Defender does come close], and the Range Rover - as much as I love it - has been played out. Even the Project Kahn versions are relatively commonplace these days, and with the last days of summer seemingly fairly close behind us, like I said more often than not I’d favour the sports car right now. Until I saw the Limited Edition collaboration between gunsmiths Holland & Holland and Range Rover customisers Overfinch. Limited to only 100 cars per year, the sublimely designed Holland & Holland Range Rover is available in 4 different colourways [including Holland & Holland's Tintern Green] and the 31 piece wood veneer interior comes in a choice of Olive Ash Gloss, European Burr Walnut, Matt Gunstock Wallnut, or Piano Black lacquer with silver inlays. The car seats four people - with a custom built centre console [below] between the two back seats, which houses an integrated fridge. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better comes the coup de grace: the boot. The veneered ‘cupboard’ [to match the rest of the interior] features three drawers fitted to carry eight matching Holland & Holland crystal tumblers and flutes, as well as your shotguns, cartridges, and cartridge bag. Oh and the drinks cabinet [featuring 6 premium spirits including Hendrick's Single Batch gin] is re-stocked free of charge for the first year. This really is the ultimate British sporting accessory [or showpiece depending on how you look at it], or as they put it the most luxurious off-roader ever: the embodiment of unique sporting heritage and bespoke craftmanship. And to cap it all off, for the base model you can choose from a TDV8 Diesel or 5.0L 503HP Super Charged petrol engine - the Range’s metrosexual cousin, the Range Rover Sport, is nowhere to be seen. How much? Only £140k…

Hi. Initial I need to say that I genuinely like your website, just observed it the past week but I have been following it sometimes since then.
I appear to concur with most of your views and opinions and this post is no different. entirely
Thank you for any wonderful blog and I hope you maintain up the very good function. If you do I will keep on to browse through it.
