Overlander 4x4 - September 2023

この問題で

The CJ8 Scrambler was not exactly the most successful thing ever to wear the Jeep badge. It was cool but it was underpowered and less good off-road than the CJ7, so sales were slow and as a result, these days it’s a collectable rarity.

It’s not as rare as the new Scrambler 392, though. That’s because the Scrambler 392 is a concept – and with full carbon bodywork, plus a 470bhp, 6.4-litre V8 spinning 40” tyres, no-one’s going to accuse it of being underpowered. Or less good off-road than, well, more or less anything.

Jonty Beales’ Shogun is pretty good off-road too. Unlike Jeep, though, he didn’t spent a multi-million dollar promotions budget on creating it. Instead, he went on eBay and waited patiently for the right parts to come up at the right money – the result being a truck that wheels as well as it looks.

Legacy Overland’s beach-spec Defender 90 is quite the looker too, as is the Skoda Enyaq iV Coupe vRS – albeit in rather a different way. Or if what you prefer gazing on is the stuff that happens in a top workshop, NWS Motor Services’ rebuild of a 4.6-litre Rover V8 will keep you very happy.

So too will a superb roadbook in the south of Wiltshire. Unless you’ve got paintwork you cherish – in which case a weekend’s green lane among the hills of the Champagne region might be more up your street. Definitely lots to celebrate in the latest issue of 4x4!
