this mite answer ya q

The original Foers Ibex was built, like it's successor Ibex II, from LandRover Defender components on a chassis / spaceframe of Foers' own design. The whole steel framework is hot dip galvanised prior to being panelled with a body made from all folded rather than pressed sections. A unique feature of the original Ibex is the doors which open upwards held on gas struts in a semi gull-wing style. It has a utilitarian and purposeful look which is generally much admired by off-road enthusiasts.



On the road the Ibex has an acceptable ride, the 250 (100") wheelbase being better than the 240 (93") wheelbase. Noise levels are, however, fairly high, especially as most models are fitted with the Land Rover Tdi engine. Acceleration is quite brisk for such a vehicle and a cruising speed of 70mph is achieved comfortably.

It is, however, in off-road use where the Ibex truly excels. Amazing approach and depart angles coupled with good ground clearance, excellent forward vision, and Land Rover's legendary axle articulation means that the most extreme terrain can be tackled with confidence.

Foers Ibex II​

The Ibex is based on Land-Rover D90 or D110 components. It has minimal overhangs and great approach and departure angles.
