Agree - I quite like the front end, but that back end is plain awful, roof spoiler just as bad as the bumper.

Those interiors are just not for me either.

I had an OF kit on on L322, can't see me ever doing it again though.

I believe they bought the name so they could extract every penny they could from the local footballists up north Whistle Whistle Rolling Eyes So they managed to milk everything they could from the L322 as that was already designed and built! IMHO they have fell flat on their faces with the L405 as it looks like hell!


I think if I would've been there at the time, I would have been in that skip faster than a ferret up a drain pipe.

Your so right ,obviously I am biased to the pre Ownership L322, I have been lucky that someone did just that. I managed to get some spare HandH sill plates from someone who snaffled them Holland and Holland Range Rover By Overfinch

I quite like the interior detail....not sure about black with yellow piping tbh, but I like the look and I think for the money JLR should do something a bit better than the plan seat on the current L405.....not just an SVA/D all smug in my new plug!

BUT, not every customer wants blingy seats! If you made it standardized, you would seriously limit your customer base no?

I wasn't there Craig so I don't know, but companies are very good at throwing out the baby with the bathwater. TVR did it.

Yes, it seams Autobrokers didn’t have a second thought about Overfinch’s history! The issue now is, there are many cars that can’t be sure who made them!

I’m afraid I now associate Overfinch with cheap fake eBay badges and ill fitting body kits - most people now just assume an Overfinch badged vehicle is a fake - unfortunately they have devalued the mark and a standard vehicle is now far more desirable unless it’s a genuine H&H of which there are very few. Most main agents also will not entertain a trade in of an OF RR unless it’s for silly money way below what a std vehicle would be worth - a family member found out the hard way 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17
