Title: A vehicle as unique as a Guzzi
Post by: vintagehoarder on February 13, 2026, 01:51:16 PM
Well I think anybody in this forum is certainly a Moto Guzzi fan, it's unique you don't see a lot of them, and it always spawns interesting conversations. I found a 4 wheel equivalent I think.  I've been following these since they first came out in 2024 and have been drooling for one. I find it similar to owning a Guzzi everywhere I go somebody asked me what it is, and if I run into another one then it's considered a rally  :thumb:
It's a 2025 Ineos Grenadier.  Got it just before the polar vortex hit, perfect timing the thing is a tank, can't stop it.  Iam in love!

The G5 I owned back in the late '80s with my other unique vehicle in the background (in the lower photo). '64 Land-Rover Series IIA 109 with pickup top. It came with the long "safari roof" originally. Capstan winch on the front. 2.25 liter 4 cylinder gas engine, 4 spd. transmission, 2 spd. transfer case, and Fairey overdrive which resulted in 16 forward and 4 reverse speeds.  :grin:

Congrats!  If I ever go back to an SUV, that is definitely on my very short list. My nephew's dad traded his Cayenne for one, and found it too truckish, and went back to a Cayenne, but it was VERY cool while he had it, just wasn't the best choice to commute to NYC & back 50 miles each day.

IMO, the engine and Trans are the best combo BMW ever made.
