Specialized Sawtooth 42c
Heavy, but remarkably speedy. Set up nice tubeless.

What are the best full stayed mudguard to go over a 700 x 42C tyre?
It's for a specialized Sequioa if that makes any difference? it is a beast of a winter bike, but is a winter bike really a winter bike if it has no mudguards?

According to Auto Trader; Yes.

Get a golf estate.
Pick the engine that best suits you're needs and costs and you're set.
(I happen to also own an arkose, and if your analogy is a no frills, reliable workhorse, which does most things well enough that is my experience of a Golf Estate, and Arkose)

You are in a lucky minority - I drove mine with a trailer from Sussex to the West coast of Ireland and my back knew about it afterwards! My Girlfriend won't go in it for journeys over half an hour because "it's so uncomfortable!"
However, our '49 series 1 is very comfortable, or at least I find it comfortable. If it wasn't so slow, and deafening, and cold it would be my preferred choice!
Also, unrelated, that Chieftain Range Rover is horrible.
Whoever said Unimog - That is the best option.

It's a steal at roughly £270000!

My mum used to have a Jazz.
I never drove it as far as the south of France, but I did Devon - Sussex - Cardiff - Birmingham - Sussex in it in a couple of days and it was comfortable and quite nippy for an under powered little town run around.
However, the chief thing with it was the amount of space in there. I did 4 hours sat in the back once, at 6 foot tall, with plenty of room. And the boot had room for my parents Flatcoated Retriever (Roughly 50 kilos of dog). You can get 3 bikes and 3 people in but then it gets really sluggish.
She now has a 1.4 TSI Mk7 Golf. Much better on the move, less practical inside. Still able to carry a big dog.
TL:DR - They aren't as bad as all that. Very practical. Would prefer big autobahn sled for France trip. Civic/Focus/Golf/Leon/A3 would all be better.
