A very expensive D240 SE

I suppose it had to happen - this must be the most expensive D240 SE on the market.........

https://stock.overfinch.com/used-car-detai.../id-26303/

I don’t see anything that justifies the price, makes those very expensive badges, wheels and a bit of colour coding Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Interior looks standard, expensive indeed.

Overfinch used to mean something special, now it’s just a badge and fancy wheels plus some bits of over priced carbon fibre trim.

Each to their own and all that, but seems like they have lost their way a bit over the years.

I once owned an Overfinch RRC, it had a 5.7 Chevy, auto and big brakes, it was painted in Aston Martin Sage Green with 70’s steel bumpers.

Now all they do is add the ‘Cheshire’ cheese and price accordingly.

Zero imagination. YAWN.

I wish i had, it was pre-cameras on phones and forums etc.
Unfortunately my friend who had it built passed away, or i’d have asked him for some.

Overfinch were at the Cheshire show last year,

They had some stock for sale, the 90 they had was silly money and it was no engine work just add on's and leather.

As it happeneds they are about to open a new showroom near us (already pictures of the Old Defender, New and RR's on the billboard) saying opening soon.

It will be nice to look at the cars on show

As above though the sum of the parts simply do not equate to the cost of the car, so the badge(s) are quite pricey

A friend of mine worked for Overfinch when they were near Farnham in Surrey.

When they were bought out and began the move up north most of the panels, trim, seats and other parts were just thrown into large skips never to be seen again....

I only remember the reg it was on before i had it, but it was an ex Lode Lane motor and had a known prefix/suffix plate of demos and special edition motors that came out of there.

I didn’t have it long, ii did a trip to Rally Day at Castle Combe and used £200 of petrol in one single day, having to then fuel up the next day to go to work.
It had a hidden winch and everything, 140mph was a breeze.

That's fairly substantial fuel consumption then

I've heard mine is capable of off the top of the clock speeds
