Megatoy is an ode to cheerful impertinence. Built on a 1978 International Harvester Scout II, this outsized restomod carries a simple philosophy: have fun, with no purpose beyond the pleasure. Cruising the beaches, taking on snow, heading off down forgotten tracks, it gives the word vehicle back its playful dimension.

Design and materials
Its massive proportions and clean lines give it an almost sculptural presence, and its mint green contrasts deliberately with its titan's frame. Inside, treated natural leather and wood recall the finishing of the great classics, with a raw authenticity. The whole keeps up a constant conversation between roughness and refinement.
On the road
Under the bonnet, a 5.7 litre V8 rumbles like a boat engine, and the three speed automatic makes it a travelling companion as relaxed as it is effective. Megatoy is a giant, yet it drives with ease and never loses its explorer's soul. Built entirely to measure in house, it drew on every trade in the atelier to turn an agricultural workhorse into an icon.
