Enthusiasts of LandyZone(.co.uk), has the world gone mad??
I remember a few years ago you could spend a considerable amount of money to buy a bespoke Landy with upgraded V8 and custom trim.....although the cost of these very special vehicles could be questionable to some, others would say that a specially developed engine and gearbox swap, plus new leather and Recaro seats was worth the hefty premium.....
......wind the clock forward 10 years, a lot of companies have jumped on the bandwagon, plush seats and not much else for a £20 to £30k premium. What happened to the V8 (or these days V6 turbo) engines ? It seems to be all about Bling and not performance.....what am I missing???
