Since the debut of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 in 2013, six-wheeler SUVs have become more popular and desirable. If you fancy this type of vehicle and don’t want to spend seven digits, there is a classic Land Rover Range Rover with six wheels, currently being auctioned on eBay.

Converting a first-gen Range Rover to a six-wheeler might be considered sacrilege by fans of the model that kicked off the luxury SUV segment, but this isn’t the only bespoke model in existence. Three-axle Range Rovers are a pretty rare sight, but a handful of them have been spotted all around the world after King Khaled of Saudi Arabia ordered one back in the ’80s.

The bespoke Range Rover was featured in the February 2017 issue of the Land Rover Monthly magazine. The vehicle it is based on was registered on May 22, 1978, and the conversion was undertaken by “Smiley Miley” Tony Miles for BBC Radio 1’s Roadshow summer event.

Despite the significantly longer body, the vehicle retains the original 100-inch (2,540 mm) wheelbase and the two doors. This means that all the extra length is added behind the B-pillar, with the profile looking like it is photoshopped. The builder did quite a decent job with the extended bodywork and added two extra pillars to support the long roof. The interior still has the stock folding seats at the front and the folding bench at the back with tiger-style covers. As you can imagine, there is a huge amount of cargo space behind the seats, with a nice carpet to host your picnics in the countryside.

Under the bonnet, it is said to have a Perkins 4236 diesel engine which according to Wikipedia is a 3.9-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel producing anywhere between 66-81 hp (49-60 kW / 67-82 PS) – but we don’t know if that’s the output in this particular build. Power is transmitted to four of the six wheels through a four-speed LT95 manual gearbox. The seller suggests the vehicle is in good mechanical condition and runs well although the diesel engine can be quite loud. Also, there are a couple of things needed for it to return to “Concours” condition, including sorting out some electrical issues and a fresh paint job.

At the time of writing, the highest bid was £9,700 ($13,100), failing to meet the reserve price. However, the auction is scheduled to end on January 30 so there is plenty of time for more bids. How much would you spend on such a unique build like this?
