alantd Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Not bad for a couple of grand. You'll probably find it grows on you. Don't forget your roots though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Having looked at several complete heaps of mid-nineties Discoverys this thing is a complete bargain. I looked at a Discovery at a dealers last week that you could put your fingers through the loadspace floor, it was 6/7 years older than this Freelander, straight but slightly scabby body, done 45,000miles more and would have cost £500 more to buy.

Will You're looking in the wrong places Will... they'll all be farm hacks over your way mate!!! Just picked up a late (1998) 300 Tdi ES manual. Taxed & Mot'd, 2 owners from new and never towed or off roaded. The chap wanted shot of it as he'd blown a coolant hose on the motorway (so the head gasket went as well) so sold as a non runner - for less than £800....
