I think I'll share Alex's Ibex with you....
For those who may not know...It's 100inch, shorter overall than a 90, galv chassis, with Land Rover running gear.. Currently under re-development with Audi R8 intake system...now has a Puma dash in... It's 5 litre, dry sumped and supercharged.. Lockers and Ashcroft shafts etc... It's built to our usual very high standards... If a moderator could put these pictures on without clicking the link, I'd love ya ! Enjoy... https://picasaweb.google.com/letsoffroad/A...2608802434 Engine before re-think... https://picasaweb.google.com/letsoffroad/W...0894109394 During re-think... https://picasaweb.google.com/letsoffroad/W...5435898914 Looking sad in the workshop... https://picasaweb.google.com/letsoffroad/W...2562944386 The Puma dash, awaiting the MoTeC screen ! https://picasaweb.google.com/letsoffroad/W...8208042578 |

It has the look of a light weight, I like it. Not overly keen on the grill though, looks a little kit car for my tastes.
Bet it will go like a b@stard though! Is the exhaust manifold ceramic coated? |

From the rear it looks like a very low rent city car of some sort.
Impressive engineering, disastrous styling. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

Styling of them are quite Marmite.. The Ibex F8 we are currently building....we can certainly build a TDV8 version...should be interesting ! |
