That is a bargain price. 

 

The engine conversion on a landrover 110 to make 350hp and loads of torque is not cheap. Plus the cost of the portal axles (10Kish), inboard brakes, independent adjustable suspension (I've never seen on a landrover), proper locking differentials etc etc would be a lot more. 

 

After watching the factory tour video I would say they are making a pretty special vehicle, there is nothing currently in production that would come close to the Bollingers off road ability. Without spending an awful lot of money and time modifying something.

Love the way they have a 110V take off for the portable table saw and ripping 4x2 in the middle of a pasture. 

What happens when they drain the battery sawing and can't get home. 

 

It does look like a blatant rip of from the Defender. I suppose imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. 

 

Agree with Jonny however. When you get past the sticker price, you are getting a lot of kit for the money. Not saying it couldn't be cheaper though. Would be a long time before I could afford one.
