Mitsubishi L200 £24,949/£29,938

- TOM FORD

It’s hard to say exactly how much work has gone into Project Swarm in the past four weeks; sufce it to say that it is somewhere in the region of “A lot” and “My brain hurts – send help”. Arches have been fared from the inside out – bolton fares being a bit too easy for Ralph and Brad – aping Mitsubishi concept cars. Floors have been pared back and rewelded. The wonderful – and substantia­l – external roll cage by Protection and Performanc­e Ltd has been delivered and painted by Dave, and even that’s not quite as simple as it looks, because Dave The Paint has mixed a little silver fake in with the pearl to give it a silver-blue sheen in direct light. There’s been new suspension from SuperPro shipped all the way from Australia which needed slight modifcatio­n. And that’s not even the half of it. More pics to reveal next month!
