My thoughts exactly, they quoted £10.000 for the motor alone....but as for the handbrake it'd been easier to just fit a hydraulic system that would be more reliable than an electric connection in the mud and water.
No mention also of how they kept the air lift suspension. But it really didn't sound real did it?

Oh, and the off-road test they did, it did sound like a kids remote control car :woohoo:

Heard them mention £19K worth of batteries, so that's £29K on just two major components. Then fabrication and labour on top. Got to ask is it really worth the cost?

if it came with the legendary "I want my mummy " pro mod dragster acceleration feature then yeah I see the attraction and its cheap compared to other ways of going that quickly on 4 wheels.

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.
