They've owned it since 2015, carrying out all this work with Steve Parker Land Rover Ltd for which a full record of new parts used in the re build is included in the sale. The respray in 'Hickory Brown' reportedly cist £4,000 alone and the numerous add-ons like oversized wheels, black Fire & Ice side steps and black chequer plate really make this Landy stand out.
