Twisted

£50k for a Jimny, they are not going to sell many of these.

There are several companies already out there doing Jimny conversions, they don't cost anything like £50k.

Perhaps I will stencil 'Twister' down the side of mine and put it up at the bargain price of £20k.

I always wondered what they were going to do when they ran out of defenders to handbag.

Lambert, do I take it they are made for an upmarket district of London (begins with a C and has a high profile football team) then?

That would explain it, no one who is rich is only going to spend £20k on a car when they can pay more than twice that to get the same basic model except a version that isn't driven by the hoi polloi.

£50k PLUS VAT

l would rather have a standard SZ5 at half the price. Hell, for £45k plus VAT you could buy a new Defender with a few options, or a new Jeep Wrangler.

Still, there are those to whom money means nothing, such as the owner of BET365 who pays herself £400 MILLION per year.

These kind of people don't even look at, or see, the invoice. Want one? Get one. 

l've got a customer who earns over £500,000 per month kicking a ball about. Nice guy. He's got six Ferraris "l like Ferrari" he said when l asked.

One thing, Twisted's work is top notch, even if you don't like what they do.


 

Prices are stratospheric but Twisted are a UK business so good on them.

Curious to see what mods they specify for Jimny suspension and engine, though I wouldn’t mess with either - that ladder frame chassis ain’t a foundation for performance or handling.

A set of skinny BFG AT all I need.
