The last sentence on this review is interesting. I'd certainly consider one for farm use although I'd want to see it in deep sticky mud first

The OX has been designed with rough, rutted, washboarded gravel roads in mind.

 

Like rural Devon then.

 

I noticed the OX in the news today as well and it appears to be the sort of thing I'm after. I don't want a complex new car, or an unreliable old one and I need good ground clearance but not necessarily a full 4x4. The load capacity would be ideal for moving wood about as well.

I doubt it will ever see the light of day over here due to emission regs, crash testing or SVA issues.

Anyone remember the Africar, plywood body and citroen air suspension at each corner?

Commercial IVA is not that strict, no crash test for home build vehicles and it uses Transit FWD drivetrain so emissions should be no problem.

A proper Land Rover alternative?

No, these actually look quite well made :-)

Said to be able to wade bellybutton deep, from the driver's seat!

 

Anything deeper it floats!
