Does this seem like a good price? I like how it comes with the chancellor of the exchequer's box as the glovebox
Different looking from what we're used to seeing. I note it appears to have a hinged bonnet too, which is unusual (though not wrong - save it
blowing over when you take it off and stand it on end).
$22,500 seems ambitous IMHO.
The seller doesn't seem to know if it's Alumium chequer plate or stainless steel (be heavy if it's stainless).
Diesel - I like a diesel tintop myself, but probably not in a 7. A turbo diesel in a 7 would surely have a skittery back end when the boost comes in
too.

that is epic and ambitious - it reminds me of this:-

Lets be honest.
It looks awful. 
And for asking £22,500 
And don't fly Air America

Have to agree with Roadrunner :-
Oh good lord that looks dreadful. It may be built by an "aircraft mechanic" but that suspension mounting is fundamentally wrong and shows a
worrying lack of engineering understanding. The welding looks quite amateurish too.
And what the hell is going on with that brake line hanging in mid air!

not sure any number of better photos or indeed photoshop will fix that - neither aesthetically or mechanically
it is wrong on all levels
He could leave the lens cap on, that would help.

Blimey, I hadn't actually looked at that end of the wishbones! Thought the other end was bad enough until you pointed out the wishbone bushes only mounted with a single side
Anyway, after a lot of comments on the advert (some constructive, some taking the wee) the seller has come to the conclusion that he needs to relist after he's taken better photos of it.

I'm with "HowardB" - better photos....?
IMHO you can't polish a turd!
Part of the chassis looks so heavy he'd be better weighing it in than trying sell it to an unsuspecting new owner!
