Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

There's a fair old few - more luck than anything else I think. Lots patched up etc.
There was a wrangle with Land Rover about the patents a while ago, as they were thinking of providing new chassis through Land Rover Reborn, meaning that it was impossible to get a new one for a number of years. In the end LR decided not to do it and opened it up again to Richards and others.
I managed to get one before that happened - they have approximately doubled in price (£4k for one now) since I managed to get mine in 2012 though, which is pretty eyewatering.
