To be quite frank, this Whitbread - Land Rover Discovery/Nissan Patrol Buggy is particularly well sorted; put together with a great deal of thought, consideration & expertise.
Particularly in regard to the precise positioning of components, all kept suitably accessibly compact yet tidily out of way; will practical Performance, Versatility & Durability very much of emphasis throughout & subsequently built in...
Engine remounted/repositioned backward upon chassis as far as practically suitable in relation to height & gearbox/running gear position/performance... approx 12" back from original position...
Y61 Nissan Patrol Axles & LR Discovery Props positioned & 'angled' with care & attention to maximise available flexibility of performance...
Y61 Diff Flanges re-drilled to suit Discovery Props.
Transmission & Engine Oil Coolers/Radiators positioned for both performance & durability, out of the way & away from heat sources...
Time Care & attention taken to position Rear Winch Tray, particularly in regard to rope eyelet slot in order to maximise flexibility/versatility of performance/use.
Y61 Axles Best Choice... for Extra Strength & Durability.
With additional benefit of a Wider Track which provides greater stability; while still repairable with mass market parts... however unlikely necessary.

I was particularly fortunate... you would be very unlikely to be able to build for less... particularly in such a manner.
Also Note: I may possibly consider a part exchange with either a Motorhome/up & running Stealth Van... Or a Land Rover...Or even maybe something particularly interesting?..
Also, if interested... the combined suspension set up & overall build of this specialist Performance Off-Road 4x4 Buggy... could also I imagine make it surprisingly straight forward to make this Buggy Road legal, most likely without the need of a special vehicles test... should you wish to so...
This vehicle is for sale on Land Rover Discovery 300tdi Auto logbook...
Most road legal examples will not be as capable as this Off-Road...

Please Note: vehicle mileage of 31527 is recorded mileage as on odometer...needed to fill in, in order to post ad, is not applicable really...
