Interesting I wonder where that is as its a left hooker.

I've got a rolling Land Rover chassis sitting next to my Minor and debated about how to adapt the two together

Wheelbase and track, surprisingly, are roughly the same.
Problem was the Land Rover engine is set so far back that it would have taken up all the front space leaving the driver sitting in the back !
I used to have a Jeep CJ5 and that was the same so I don't know what chassis has been used for this conversion seeing it sounds as if a V8 as well.

It says Range Rover Classic in the description and V8 is in the title.

By sound of it it's got an auto box too.
The drivier position looked 'normal' so I wondered if they'd had additional work to do on the chassis layout.

Maybe the engine & gearbox are mounted "off centre" so they are by the side of the driver ?

The transmission sounds very 'agricultural' as it climbs over the mounds! But well done - I like it!!
