Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch: Gun and booze hauling reaches its zenith — Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/26/holland-and-holland-range-rover-by-overfinch-gun-and-booze-haulin/)

Yep, for sure... that is a great mix :twisted:. A luxury 500bhp 4WD, copious amounts of alcohol and one or more shotguns. What are these people thinking?

Overfinch do awesome finishing and power upgrades no doubt... H&H make stuff to kill things... what idiot decided to add the free grog?

Freaking irresponsible marketing aimed at flambuoyant East-Euro drug barons and terrorist seeds IMHO. It's gotta be a ploy to fish for HumInt targets who are stupid enough to show their hand, or just stupidly rich targets.

I sincerley hope this is not condoned by LR or it's latest owners...:eek:

And yet somehow there is something about it that makes me want it anyway...

A mate who is a gun collector and restorer has a Holland and Holland .375 Magnum bolt action rifle. He claims it to be worth an indecent amount of money. He also has a boxed pair of Purdy hammer guns dated 1894. He paid $60,000 for these long time ago.

...and free refills of the cocktail cabinet for the first 12 months!

Thanks but no-thanks.
cheers

Splendid. I'd like to have it fitted with a horn that impersonates the shotguns ;)

Might get work converting the P38 now, sure i have some chip board in the shed..

Well I like it. There's nothing saying you have to drink and shoot and drive, Paul. Lighten up.

Brian your mate is right - Holland and Holland make top quality firearms that cost HEAPS> You'd have no trouble at all (I'll reword that.. an oil rich Saudi Sheik) would have no trouble at all buying a Holland and Holland finest gun for MUCH MORE MONEY than that Range Rover is worth.

Jokes aside, I do like the finish with all that walnut and leather.

As for guns, H&H and Purdy are both very nice. A friend who used to have a dairy farm in northen Vic used to have one of each, both had belonged to his grandfather and were magnificent examples of craftsmenship.

True, obviously I've been reading too much Ludlum lately ;)

I didn't say I didn't like it - it just seems absurd in these politically correct times. Any combination of a) high powered vehicle, b) alcohol, and c) guns is a recipe for an accident that we are warned about by those who "know what is good for us":angel:

If it is aimed at rich Saudis, what's the point of the alcohol?

I'll have the black one please... the gun locker looks to be a good place to stow 4WD recovery equipment.

Cheers, Paul.

Trust me it's definitely a case of "What goes on tour, stays on tour" with those fellas.

They didn't buy half of London for no reason !

He bought the Holland and Holland from a Rhodesian migrant in the 70's. It was made for the guy's father in the 1920's for big game hunting. Mick is a retired toolmaker and has considerable skills. He restored it and has used it a little potting feral hogs on his son-in-laws property near Goondiwindi. He reckons it the straighest shooting rifle he has ever used, being nearly flat over 1000 to almost 2000 yards. He says it can blow great chunks of masonry from a block or brick wall and at closer ranges blows hogs into pieces. Mick is a small man and he does not like the recoil from this one.

He bought the Purdys at auction in the UK, early 80's. Made in 1894 for Lord somebody or other. He was able to obtain their complete history from Purdy, the owners, repairs and refurbishments, etc. The English gentry apparently regularly returned the guns to their makers for a cut and polish. Very ornate pieces and exhibit wonderful craftmanship. Lord Kafoops crest in the stocks in ivory and silver.

He has a lot of interesting firearms, mostly now very valuable collectables.

In this time when political correctness has gone stupid......

I applaud anyone who flies in the face of it.

Love the H&H Range Rover.

There was a P38 H&H Range Rover as well.

Unfortunately many frustrated and stranded owners got ****ed on the single malt scotch, loaded up the shotty and let go a few rounds on the car itself.

A double barrel shotgun blast to the left front airbag ....... "Now there's your air leak !!!"
