After seeing the topgear artic Hilux in the other thread I went for a brows of the Artic Trucks site that built it in 2007, and I've hit a bit of a problem

Stuff the Defender, I want one of these next

I've already emailed them asking for a price list and a quote to convert a Defender hehe

I don't expect you to dude. I quickly looked into it when I still had my Defender but when I sold it I lost interest.

I'm planning on getting another 4x4 next year so one of these might be on the cards as long as the price isn't too scary

[Maxxed_Ross]

Right heard back from them today, and the basic conversion is only 13,000 EUR. I dodn't think that's actually too bad when you consider I spent not far away from that on My Defender and it wasn't half the animal this thing will be

All I need to do is supply a base car, and I've found the perfect one

Unfortunatley the options list has lots of tasty bits on it... so I can see the conversion being nearer 20,000 EUR lol

Plus I've no idea how to actually get the truck to Iceland and back, or how much the tax is going to be - if there is any - on bringing it back so heavily modified... or even if it'll be road legal over here.

I assume if I start with a UK truck it sound be simple enough and it won't need an SVA test or anything daft like that?

wish i had that much money im struggling to find ?20 for things these days lol

[Maxxed_Ross]

I won't be doing this until next year at the earliest, and will likely need to sell 1 if not two of the current toys to fund it
