The most terrible use of a Land Rover ever
This has got to be the most terrible use of a Land Rover ever. Bespoke up-cycled car furniture handmade unique, crap would be a better description!
Though at today’s bids of £300.00, 15 people like it and have bided shows you there is accounting for taste

I see nothing wrong with that


Plenty of parts out there so if someone wants to use it for other stuff great.


I happen to think if your a Landrover Specialist and that's in your office is great.


Quality of the desk not the best but I like the idea Smile

I am not saying the idea is bad, it’s just the execution of the design that is terrible. If someone spent a little more effort integrating the idea into something that was more pleasing on the eye it might be a winner. Just bolting a pair of battered wings and grill front onto a standard desk and then calling it bespoke is not good design.

I am sure Mat from FCX would do a much better job if he took up the idea Thumbs Up For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

No! More like this much more 'bespoke' and shows how crap the ebay one is.

I still think the Bay one is terrible and looks all wrong, however the black one is rather special, should I ever visit a Land Rover garage or specialist, I know which one I would prefer the owner to be sitting behind to give a good impression.

Well, I tell you what, I like that, problem is, I wouldn't have room in our house for it, but the way it's been done, I reckon it's pretty clever.
In the right area, with the right space around it, I'd love it.
I DON'T like the black one.

Change the desk out for a BBQ and you'd be on a winer. Cheers,

Shame the desk looks like one from the 70s, pulled from a skip. Pete
