I remember seeing plenty of Series hybrids. They were Series Rovers that were converted to coil springs. That was often accomplished by fitting the Series body panels on a 100" wheelbase chassis taken from a DI or RRC. It was a nice upgrade with disc brakes, a V8 or even a turbo diesel. At least, in the end, they still looked like Series Rovers. The monster in this thread has absolutely nothing in common with a Series Rover from 1968.
If you're going to take liberties like these guys did, why not call it a 1948 Series I or better yet, the long lost center steering Series prototype.
In the words of Joseph Welch, "have you no sense of decency?"

Here's what a 1968 Series IIa 109 looks like. It has leaf springs all around, drum brakes all around, a 2.25L petrol or diesel engine, part time four wheel drive, manual steering, manual brakes, a single barrel carburetor, no real dashboard and headlights on the breakfast, not the wings (at least not until 1969).

kinda like the Mercedes box looking SUV, 100$ + grand for the v8 the over $200k for the v12. to bad land rover and Mercedes doesn't make the same body style but cut out all the electronics crap and make an all manual setup with a good mid size reliable motor and price it around $30k. but i guess that's where Jeep comes into play.
