Did I understand right ? At the end he says 3,000 hours of work. @£50/hour that’s £150,000 !! Just Time. Not taking account of cost of parts. Am I missing something ?

I enjoyed watching that. Amazing the level of detail that they went into restoring it. But honestly I don't like it. It feels more like a Range Rover than a Land Cruiser. It's all just a bit too tidy. Personally I like things a bit more rough around the edges.
3000 hours probably about right. Used to take me 1500 hours to do the same standard on a much simpler car.
I'd be worried about the tranny in low ratio. 500 hp would wreck it unless you were very careful.
I had a car with a carb 500 hp engine. It would spin the 13 inch wide tyres at the rear. The factory took me for a test drive in their show car. A bit frightening with 130 mph down a side road in about 14 seconds from a start.
