Overlander 4x4 - November 2020

In dieser Ausgabe

If you’re one of the people who rolled their eyes at the prospect of a Lamborghini SUV, be prepared. We got our hands on an Urus recently – and, being the sensible types we like to think we are, we took it green laning.
It got some comments, we can tell you that. And it was definitely a hit on the school run. Now all we need is a couple of hundred grand. Watch out for the Editor trying to carve out a new career for himself as a grime artist any time now…
Incredibly, the Urus is not the most expensive vehicle in 4x4 this month. The Torsus Overlander is basically a MAN truck that’s been turned in to a fully fitted motorhome – it’ll go on sale next year, and it’s one of the most spectacular expedition vehicles we’ve ever seen. And while it might cost as much as a house, it’ll hold its value like one too. Retirement: sorted.
We’re also featuring two very different military 4x4s this month. One is a Lightweight Land Rover that’s been fettled and modded into a daily driver that’s also a hardcore off-road plaything – a true old-school Half-Tonner like they used to be in the days before the became classic cars.
And talking of classic cars, our other military feature this month is on an ex-army Mercedes G-Wagen that’s been rebuilt by Legacy Overland into a stunning cruiser combining modern-day comforts with bags of heritage. It’s as much of an off-road legend as ever, too – and in its post-resto state it’s all set for another quarter of a century
