Looks like someone wanted a Hummer but could only afford a Land Rover.

*Massively* overpriced, even by trendy SUV market standards.
They're proposing a starting price of £60k, which is Defender level pricing. Don't get me wrong, the new Defender is an overpriced heap of shit too, bit at least it has an interior.

not that I would have said no to one of those, they're nicer with more features and better performance.
but we used exclusively tojo's (land cruisers) out in the desert, as did most other mines and exploration teams. they're simpler and more reliable, two pretty important qualities where breakdowns can get you in the shit pretty quickly, and the mine site mechanics can get them back on the road fast and cheaply too
