I realize that you import/ sell Rovers so I hope nothing was taken in offense as I personally know a couple of people who have purchased/ dealt with you and have totally positive things to say. That being said, I dont think that the Defenders are "hand built" but achieve these ridiculous asking prices because they arent as readily available as of yet. Get a CJ or YJ, rust it out like a typical for sale "1985" D90, and they will laugh all day at a $4k selling price, let alone one at $14k. I really hope that as the years pass, these prices will come down as I would love to get my hands on a 3 door 110. They arent the most comfortable (being 6'4" my head seems to hit the door/ window frame often) but they are just so damn cool. Until then, a comfortable, air conditioned, flexy Disco for half the money is the way to go.
That being said, the money for this is huge and I agree that it will be bought by someone who will use it as their beach truck in the Hamptons or something like that. Itll never see actual use.
