The interior would be ok in a different colour but the exterior is hideous

I have no idea what goes on in their design studio. Utterly disgusting. But 'taste' is a matter of opinion and clearly Afzal Kahn and his crew know how, and who, to appeal to. Whilst it might be a niche taste that seems entirely wrong to us normal folk, Kahn is clearly doing something right as his estimated worth, from the Kahn/Chelsea Truck Company brands alone, is $100m.

Apart from being awful, it also appears to be two different vehicles - one picture shows a Puma dash and one a TD5 dash

Oh dear!
It is a risky strategy to build such a unique Defender speculatively. You think this would have been a custom build, so maybe a cancelled order? Either way, it is one of those Defenders that has been modified to a point so far away from being a Defender you would think there were other options that already filled this specification (and probably for less money). |

You've got to hand it to the guy, he's certainly making lots of money with his designs. His designs certainly aren't to my liking and I imagine that applies to the majority of Def2 members but he is appealing to the well heeled blingers in Knightsbridge. I do however like the colour but don't like the bolt on extra side panels. Defender 90XS SW

I should have re-worded that - 'the interior would be ok in a different colour in a different car'. It's ok, and would suit some cars, but not a Defender. |

Seems a pity that someone who can do such quality work has the taste of Stevie Wonder! 80" 1948

Interior shots are fake
Steering wheel is two colours and on the TD5 dash the wheel spans both front seats I think the whole thing is photo shopped Its also disgusting and once seen can not be unseen |

Showed it to Mrs Grenadier, and she said she liked it. Utterly flabbergasted, but when I expressed my shock she said she thought I was showing her the colour as she knows I want to repaint mine. Phew. Almost a divorce on the cards....

I think the interior would look just great....
.... in a skip! Actually it could be argued that it's already in one! There can't be many original parts left in that since the description mentions "reliability". |

The whole thing must be photo shopped as at the end of the description it says they are waiting for the axles.
