As Range Rover has announced that their long-wheel base SUV will come with a flatbed in the back, I thought that my 1/25 exR/C Range Rover Sport should go down the same path. However there's not much room in the four door but with two there's plenty.

so interestingly, there used to be one of these at Gaydon (but was probably an L320). It was built by some of the Apprentices as part of some sort of training. It looked pretty good as I recall.

Why did it occur to me that there could be a surfboard, or a few of them on it? Either overhanging the rear or one end over the roof.

Thanks for the idea  :thumbsup:

I feel like it would look good with a crane and winch on the rear deck, a modern wrecker rig.

Well my Daytona Transporter would benefit from being recycled. The tailer could be converted into a caravan/RV. I have the one piece blue plastic for the rear.
The crane should fit in the Range Rover.

Lol, somewhat larger than I was suggesting. You'll definitely need some outriggers for that
