Labour of love

Mitsubishi L200 £24,949 OTR/£29,938 as tested

- TOM FORD

So the L200 continues apace. In fact, it’s stretched slightly past the constraint­s of a monthly magazine, and is probably a little further on than I can talk about here. After sterling work by the team, we now have a full exo-cage by Protection and Performanc­e, now with a little silver on black pearl/fake courtesy of Dave the Paint.

SuperPro suspension is on, modifed from a heavy-duty set-up popular in Australia apparently, as are the chunky tyres and Speedline wheels. Brad has got the arches sorted – with help from his rod-building father – and Ralph has been variously wiring, bending, shaping, hitting things with hammers and drinking lethal quantities of PG Tips. There are a LOT of Lazerlamps LED lights on board, and plans are afoot to mount the large quantity of GoPro mounts, as well as the wing, which will contain a drone. Phew.
