I've just seen one I quite fancy.

^^^^ This.
They do seem to attract a certain type of clientèle.......that's all I'll say on the subject.
Remember when Kahn first introduced their alloy wheels in the 90's - I'm sure they were based around Wembley/North West London, where I was working at the time, and all the gangstas in the area quickly had their rides pimped with Kahn wheels.
They have grown quite a bit since then........and certainly seem to have diversified too.
If it is the one advertised by Phil Walker, it will certainly have been prepared to a high standard, we deal with him quite often. He has got it on a forecourt on Abbeydale road at the moment.
I personally think they are a bit OTT with their styling though.
That's the one.Originally Posted by Jonboy

Based on a couple of mates RR ownership experience, I'd be more concerned about the Range Rover bit than the Khan bit....
1st one (2 gearboxes in 3 years)...... And he babies his cars.....he now drives a Volvo..
2nd one plagued with warning lights and suspension problems..... He now drives a Cayenne..
Be sure to get Royal Shell or BP shares first...

If it's the grey beast with red and black trim it is simply one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen - and I lust at a lot.

The diesels are no worse than many large vehicles. I owned a TDV8 from new and in three years of ownership, and circa 50,000 miles, I managed to get mid-20s overall.
I would concour with the comment above that RRs aren't always synonymous with reliability. From new to just over three years old, mine required: replacement of the air suspension, 2x Bluetooth system, various trips to sort the A/C - last attempt was a full dash out and replacement of many parts and a few other bits. There was a lot of loved about it but the lack of reliability wasn't one. Other than the air suspension fail, none left me stranded but all the niggles start to annoy after awhile.
Kahn stuff can be OTT but it boils down to how the first owner spec'd the car. My understanding is that he uses reasonable quality bits, so I don't think you'll be disappointed with the fit and finish of the parts they've added. When I had mine, I looked into Overfinch and the quality of their bits was horrible and the body trim looked like stuff you'd buy cheap off eBay (horrible fit and finish).
This one? http://www.philwalkercarsales.co.uk/...01501049928503
Good Lord.
I suppose the name Hublot was already taken.
To be fair, although not to my taste, its pretty nice looking compared to a lot of Kahn stuff.
As for the cars themselves. The ones I've driven have always been great. A cut above most 4x4 in terms of ride quality.
Check the 22" alloys. Khan alloys are well known for cracking.
Not sure about red grill tbh.. Would love black or black matte version if I'd have a choice and was in the market
Khan now have a showroom in Leeds althogh generally not my kind of thing, every time I drive past I am more and more intrigued by them.
Yeah I have a couple of pals who have also had poor experiences with their reliability. I don't think I would take the chance with my hard earned.
Personally I think Khan seem to ruin any car they stick their bits on. I really fail to understand why anyone other than footballers and drug dealers would buy them?
I do have to say that I'm no fan of Range Rovers either due to their build quality and reliability issues.
Funnily enough.... I was talking to a RR sales guy a couple of weeks ago, and even he said he'd only have one whilst it had comprehensive warranty....
Mind you....I drive a TVR so what do I know about reliability??.....:-)
Given the off road pretentions of RangeRover I fail to miss entirely the point in reducing ground clearance by either lowering the height of the vehicle or fitting a deeper air-dam to the nose.
I hope to god the Defender replacement retains at least a semblance of common sense in regard to where and how it might be used, I have a nagging feeling that someone soon will have a lightbulb moment and design and sell a sensible priced car capable of occasionally being used for towing and off road, without the fear of mud, or dirt spoiling the deep pile carpets.
I know I'm in the minority.
Far as I know they started up in Bradford ( Thornton way I think) in a small ind unit selling alloys, Can't believe how they ended up with TWO Bugatti in stock??and an unbelievable stock list.? or maybe I can. As has been said avoid the Range Rover like the plague.
Oh my. That is vile!
Eddie, surely you have better taste?
Very nice till I saw the Red on the central console and door trims
Jesus Eddie, when did you become a premiership WAG!
I for one am looking forward to the introduction of TimeFactors "Columbian Marching Powder"
TT
Not a fan of the Khan.
Eddie, either someone has hacked your account or - to paraphrase Humphrey Appleby - it looks like you're about to make a courageous choice.
Footballer/drug dealers vehicle avoid like the plague.
Made by dealers, for dealers.
The grey example in the link above looks horrific.
Not for me, I would happily chuck some Money Overfinch's way though.
I have several thoughts on the matter.
None of which are suitable for a public Forum. Have a word with yourself!
^^^^ What he said, and him just before him..................
A Range Rover is the Aston of the 4x4's and barring engine and suspension improvements, cosmetically they should be left alone. Even Range Rover had to relearn this as the new Sport version is a more subtle alternative to the real deal than the last "sport" offering was to it's big brother.
With apologies to Johner in Aliens Resurection, I think a Range Rover would say;
"You hang with us a while you'll find I am NOT the car with whom to f*©k!"

All positive then.

Like watches I guess... you are never going to please everyone, but if you like it and can afford it then just buy it ;)
Keep the ML though in case you need to go anywhere,
There's nowt wrong with a Sport, later models are vastly more reliable and refined over earlier models. I would have no worries in buying anything over 2010 model year. The Khan kit however is quite horrible and even worse in the flesh.
I used to work there, dm me if I can be of any assistance
I just fancy getting it to park up on a housing estate and letting loads of people pass a tenner through the window in exchange for a wrap of icing sugar.

Some years ago in Sheffield there was a dealer called Winchester cars, (I did some consultancy work for them) they were selling allsorts of stuff to boxers, footballers and new money in general, I believe Khan filled the gap when Sahid Din (Winchester cars) went belly up, about 3 years ago I was contacted by a third party asking if I would be interested in working for Khan in Bradford, after checking their website I politely declined.
Looks da bomb, pull the trigger on that bad boy now bro. Da beeches will be fizzing at your ride. Aiyeee.

Very much a patron of NW London and have never noticed one of these things!!!
The exterior/colour nope but the interior definitely is different.
Sorry, but how do you spell Shiite?
Even kids will go Ha Ha!!!
The Range Rover will be my next buy, I like the range from 2011 onwards to late 2013 the new shape is not really doing anything for me at the moment I hope it grows on me because I am Going to have a test drive this week at LR with a Vogue SE SDV8 which I know is the new shape.
Everything Kahn looks awful. That one looks especially awful
Plenty, though none of them complimentary,,,
In the right color combo , I like them .....seen a similar "over finch" at the airport this week ....all white (I don't like white cars ) , it was awesome
What you seen Eddie ?....post a pic
Have you read any of the thread?
Kahn Design
Correct.
Kahn no thanks, Twisted Defender or OverFinch range yes please
also check out that horrid Khan Huntsman its hideous and the 6x6 version is comical
