How about a classic Mini sporting a 400 Hp Honda B18 engine coupled with a CRV AWD drivetrain?

Damn, not a DOHC V6.

Negative it is DOHC. The engine was later used (after some modification) in XJ220.

Everyone is wrong!

More hints: It has seats for seven people, 15" wheels, and headlight squirters. It did not come from any European country.

Seriously - wow. That was just a lucky Google search for "headlight squirters" after passing over the first couple of hundred images that were of european cars.

Looks like someone needs to buy a Lottery ticket, haha.

I'm as surprised as you. Just the disk brake rear was impressive and then I took the rotors off and measured. The wheels are totally filled with brakes. This truck is more and more impressive the more I dig into it. Its got a 9.5" ring gear and an air locking diff in the rear and an 8" ring gear in the front! On something the size of a 4Runner.

My guess is a Benz M class. Those are all built in the US.

I was thinking of the Rover V6 one posted here recently.

Cool Pajero. I'd love a SWB model, myself.

I thought at least one of those shared the 3.7L V6 with the Mustang.

Very nice. I've always wanted one of the boxy Montero/Raiders but those are awesome as well.

How's the Montero treating you?

I think I'm going to buy the below Montero this weekend:

It's mine for $450 but was overheated. I want a roof top tent and it will be our beach/camping rig.

It is an earlier SR. Doesn't have the locking diff and only has the SOHC V6, which I'm fine with - I'd like to avoid purchasing premium fuel for it.
