INEOS Grenadier build for 2-person world traveler overlanding.

Under Construction - more details still to come!

Purpose: 2-person overlander for traveling around the globe for multi-year trips - for blacktop and gravel - not for tracks like Old Telegraph Track (Queensland, Australia) but should survive trips like Canning Stock Route (Western Australia, Australia).
Name: no decision on care name made as of today.

Year: hopefully 2024-2025
Make: INEOS
Model: Grenadier Double-Cab (single cap preferably as that would produce less waste!)
Color: Scottish White (Solid)
Engine: BMW 3.0L Turbo Petrol, Straight-Six Engine (Why petrol: because of roughly 70-80 kg weigh savings compared to the diesels version and because of simpler technology - no DPF, no AdBlue)

Concept (rough image)

2 seater with large indoor living space but not larger than my LC 79 - must fit in shipping container. Here is a rough sketch of the plan. It's a Grenadier cut behind the driver and co-driver door with a custom cabin stretching to the far back. Queen size bead fully lifted, like the pop-up roof. Back step for storing outside table, theft protection and for easy entry into cabin. Two spare wheels on both sided as tire choice will not be available in all countries (that is why we want to carry 2 spares). Read more below :-)
