The car for drunken hunters! Space for Guns, Fridge & Cocktail bar.

Holland & Holland, makers of “the world’s finest sporting guns” and Overfinch, makers of tuner Range Rovers, have joined forces to create the ultimate luxury off-roader for drunk hunters. The Holland & Holland Range Rover is “a quintessentially English take on motoring luxury,” with interior fittings to store wine bottles and hunting rifles.

The mean machine features a raft of “enhancements” including a full body kit and 20 inch wheels to dress up the chic exterior. But on the inside, that the designers have gone extravagant boasting eight of Europe’s finest hides, of a grade so fine it is only normally used in private jets. The upholstery has been dyed in seven exclusive tones and a unique trim style covers the seats, doors, upper and lower dash board, centre and rear consoles and even the cubby box lid.

A thirty-one piece wood veneer kit blends into the design of the rest of the car, including that of the gun cabinet and rear console.

Only one hundred Holland & Holland Overfinches will be produced each year, and every one will be fitted with a special “shotgun-grade” steel plaque. All vehicles will be strict four-seaters as the cars feature a unique centre console and have an integrated refrigerator large enough for a couple of full size bottles. It also has a storage compartment, which could contain controls for the rear entertainment, a power inverter for a laptop or crystal tumblers and champagne flutes.

In the boot is a bespoke gun cabinet although it is itself removable for when more luggage carrying capacity is required, it is locked to the boot floor for security and safety. It has three drawers, fitted to carry eight further matching Holland & Holland crystal tumblers and flutes, customers’ own shotguns, a cleaning kit for them as well as cartridges and the bag in which to carry them.

 

Contained within both the gun cabinet and the refrigerator in the centre console is room for six bottles and it is for these that the car will feature the world’s first self-replenishing cocktail cabinet. All cars sold in Europe will arrive from the factory full of Pol Roger Champagne, The Balvenie single malt whisky, Hendrick’s single batch gin, Ivan the Terrible luxury vodka and Willow Spring Water from the Lake District. During the first year regular refills will be dispatched to the owners of the car to make sure that its passengers don’t go thirsty or sober.

While the wine-and-guns Overfinch won’t make it to the UAE, since both are thankfully restricted here, the regular 2010 Range Rover will hit GCC showrooms this winter.
