Mark Evans presenter 3.5l V8 Off-roader.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are more popular today than ever before and recently voted 'the greatest car of all time' by the BBC's Top Gear series. With this in mind, presenter and engineering fanatic Mark Evans will be venturing off-road, taking on a brand new challenge - a 4x4 Is Reborn. The build is inspired by late 1970s special vehicles of which a limited run of only 25 were ever produced for the Swiss and French Army, and are quoted as being “the best Land Rovers ever made”. Mark's aim is to take an old rust-bucket Range Rover rescued from the scrap heap and transform it into the ultimate bolder-crawling beauty!
The starting point is a 1985 four-door Range Rover that a mate of Marks had rotting in a garage. This he will totally strip back to the bones and, along with salvaged parts from other Land Rovers and Range Rovers, will combine to create a very special hybrid - as a 4x4 Is Reborn. The extreme 3.5 litre, V8 powered, R380 gearboxed off-roader - custom built from scratch by Mark - will also boast some serious off-road kit, including an OUTRAGEOUS hi-lift suspension system; a hand-made, one-off roll-cage; a specially modified twin tank fuel system and air-operated diff-locks in both front and rear-axles.
He talks about the project with such enthusiasm, that it makes you wonder how deep his love for the Land Rover runs. “My Dad worked on the Land Rover B40, which was a special Rolls Royce engined vehicle and first got me interested in 4x4's”, explains Mark, “and my first bank account was known in my family as my Land Rover Trust Fund”, he laughs, “although I have only just recently managed to purchase one after 41 years – better late than never!”
The finished vehicle was exhibited at the Land Rover World Show at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire on 19-20 June 2004 and was voted Land Rover World Best In Show 2004 - a much coveted title.
