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.

Lots of cheap copies out there but for LHD regardless of what the ad says .

Don’t know but I’ve got a set from these guys for my 80. They’re not fitted yet but look like good quality and not too expensive.

I bought two sets for my 90 series long ago - not Mars just cheaper versions and no matter what i did with them I could not get through m.o.t because they were LHD despite many emails to both sellers prior to purchase .
Mars has been around at least a decade to my sure knowledge and is Australian which is a right hand drive market . They might also be the only ones who fit projectors in these lights .
Lot of money for the look when a simple bulb swap can have your old lights put a new BMW to shame .

They are quite steep in price for the look, but it is a very nice look I reckon...
Could also be from Freedom Outfitters or TEQ customs (US based and both LHD or RHD options).
