Ride shotgun in the £140,000 Overfinch Range Rover
24 September 2009
Range Rover tuner Overfinch has teamed up with country sport specialists Holland and Holland to build a super-exclusive 4x4.
By super-exclusive we mean a fantastically finished 4x4 covered in walnut and leather and the greatest boot in the world.
Not to sound like a trigger-happy drinker but how cool would it be to open up your tailgate to find a handcrafted gun cabinet and spirits cabinet?
It’s not just the leisure activities which have been taken care of, Overfinch has gone gung-ho on the car’s cosmetics. It takes 130 man hours to paint and hand-polish each Range Rover. Not sure we’d want to take it through a muddy track after all this effort…
The leather used on the Range Rover’s interior is from the kind of hide normally reserved for private jets while the rear of the car is now a two-seat only affair - with passengers separated by an integrated fridge and Holland and Holland crystal ware.
When the car is delivered, the cocktail cabinet will be full of Pol Roger Champagne, Balvenie single malt whisky, Hendrick’s single batch gin, Ivan the Terrible vodka and Willow Spring Water. Overdo it on the spirits and you’ll be visiting Holland and Barratt, remember that.
During the first year of ownership, Holland and Holland will regularly send our refills. Well you’d expect that for the £138,650 price-tag wouldn’t you?
All models get an individually-numbered plaque while 22-inch wheels are an option for those not intending to take the Overfinch off-road.
The Holland and Holland Range Rover by Overfinch will be available with either the 503bhp supercharged V8 petrol or 271bhp V8 diesel. Both engines are magnificently refined with excellent performance.
The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are popular among celebrities and sportsmen. In the past fortnight Auto Trader has sold Steven Gerrard's Overfinch while George Michael was involved in a collision while driving his Range Rover.
