The classic Range Rover \u2014 both in two-door \u201cVelar\u201d form or the more familiar four-door body \u2014 is a fan favorite for its age-defying looks and always-tasteful attitude, but for some the standard car just wasn\u2019t enough when it was first released in 1970. Back in 1976, the British tuner Carmichael took the four-door Range Rover and turned it into a six-wheeler, typically made for firefighters before being made more commercially. Despite this, only 400 were ever made, and now one has been put to auction with Aguttes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 400 built, only a handful was actually made for private use \u2014 such as the fine example you see above. It was extended at the rear and completely re-built at the back end to incorporate another set of wheel arches, seamlessly blending into the boxy lines of the classic SUV. By no means a small car when it first launched, this coach-built example now offers perhaps the largest trunk in automotive history and definitely enough presence to scare off even the biggest of today\u2019s offroaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from aesthetic upgrades, Carmichael swapped out the original 3.5-liter V8 for a 3.9-liter unit, subsequently adding more grunt to pull its newfound bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Classic Driver notes in its full digest on the six-wheeled Range Rover by Carmichael, this is no April Fools joke. Indeed, it will be heading to Aguttes this weekend, where it\u2019s expected to sell for up to $66,228 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
