Auto analysts argued that the step to buy British Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar by Tata was not a good one, although we have yet to realize why the auto analysts said that but apparently, it had something to do with this.

This custom built vehicle is not a Land Rover actually, in fact, it isn’t anything as this is a custom chassy, with a VW Beetle engine and transmission and the worst part probably is that it is rocking a Land Rover Series 2 body.
