Default Discovery rally car with BMW M3 engine

Hopefully this isn't a repost. This guy gets an A for effort:


Here is a article about it from Road and Track:

BMW M3-Powered Land Rover Discovery Rally Car For Sale

And here is the Ebay listing:

Very impressive build, surprised it only sold for 8100 pounds ~$10,000. If that was over here I can only imagine the price it would go for on bringatrailer.

No joke. I'd say she'd get listed for $25,000 in the states with all that fab work.

I agree it appears to be an impressive build, but why? Wouldn't you want something with a lower center of gravity for rally purposes?

This truck has been sold due to the original owner/builder having lost his leg due to amputation following a motorcycle accident I am led to believe.
