Range Rover: now with guns and booze
See more pictures of the Overfinch Rangie
Even the most ardent Land Rover fan would concede the supercharged V8 Range Rover isn’t the most socially acceptable of vehicles.
But what if you want it to be more socially unacceptable? Way, way more socially unacceptable?
You add guns and alcohol, that’s what you do. Lots of guns and lots of alcohol.
This is the Holland and Holland Range Rover by Overfinch, a £140,000 ultra-luxury version of the big 4x4, and it has many guns and much alcohol.
Described as ‘the ultimate all-purpose, all-season, luxury supercar for the discerning few’, it is mechanically identical to the supercharged Range Rover but features a host of posh upgrades to suit the discerning country gent/alcoholic weapons enthusiast.
There’s a 31-piece gun cabinet, hand-crafted in walnut or ‘special wood’, and something described as a ‘self-replenishing drinks cabinet’ in place of the central rear seat.
No, we have no idea how a self-replenishing drinks cabinet works. Do the bottles of whisky, champagne and vodka magically refill when you close the lid? Does the Overfinch sense you’re running low on supplies and somehow pilot itself down to an off-licence to top up the booze?
However it works, it’s probably not going to wash as an excuse when you get pulled over on suspicion of drink-driving. “I had to drink it, officer. It just kept filling up…”
Other luxtastic touches include an integrated fridge, a set of posh glassware and a small man to polish your brogues and refill your pipe. We lied about the small man.
Just 100 Overfinch Range Rovers will be built each year. Has your shady agent recently renegotiated your contract to include an improved win bonus? You know where to head…
Now watch Clarkson attempt to outrun a Challenger tank in the Range Rover Sport:

It;s mad and useless so we'll call it Holland? It's not nice to insult us Dutchies like that :P.

Oh this is just sensational. Not necessarily my kind of thing but you have to admire how honestly ridiculous it is. The Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch: The perfect vehicle for hunting those unkempt problem Eco-Hippies on your country estate............

This is so not a good car to get pulled over in... "Sir is that a bottle of champaign in the back seat? and are those guns I see in the boot of your car? Would you mind stepping out for a minute..."

Well at least it's better than the LAST Overfinch Range Rover (which would've been a far better video reference than the last-gen Premiership RR). I'm not big on those wheels, though. So it actually has guns? The Overfinch Land Rover Range Rover Holland And Holland. The car so nice they named it twice. And then added some more names.

"organized crime boss" is the only owner i can associate this car with. I can't help feeling that one of those types designed the car. It goes so far that it almost makes fun of gangsters. Here in Latvia every one of them would dream about this one - their perfect genitalia lengthening car.

Unfortunately the wood on the dash makes it look distinctly like the car's interior has been sprayed with vomit.... Nasty stuff.

love the gun cabinet idea, but it'd look better in brushed steel or gun metal, not wood.

Am I wrong or does it look quite a lot like the original RR? Which is not a bad thing, in my book...

Youre suppose to transport firearms in a case in many US states. So unless you lived in Arizona this wouldn't work out...but the black paint would make it into an oven.

Someone asked who drives these cars. I can't speak for this particular model, but I actually saw an Overfinch Range Rover on the way to work the other morning, filling up at a petrol station. It was being driven by a slightly orange 'Cheshire wife' (stereo)type on the school run, which seemed like a bit of a waste.

Disappointed they are shotguns and not machine guns? Disappointed it's champagne and not Stella? You must be a drug dealer not a toff...

I am sorry, but this is too vulgar. If you want a sporty Range Rover get a Range Rover Sport. If you want a normal but fast Range Rover get a new one with the Supercharged, 5.0 V8. This is just pointless. I'd have a 5.0 Supercharged over that any day. And "ecomania" grow a brain. Bikes are Crap, Range Rovers are great. As I said the other day: "If god were real, he'd drive a Range Rover."
