less than you'd hope, probably. Mind, wasn't someone looking for such a spec, recently?

yeah, there was someone looking. Richard B.
So Austin Shackles was, like
Yeah, here he is.
Where are you? (Mark, not Austin. I know where Austin lives. Why have we never met up?)
Will i must say thats the weirdest reply to a post of mine! lol
Im in Essex, London end.
So whats it worth? Any ideas?
MC.
I can say without fear of contradiction that it is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Everything depends on condition, and for this spec of vehicle the cosmetics are probably at least as important as the mechanicals in securing a good price.
If everything works, the rear arches aren't too rotten and the sunroofs aren't leaking then I'd say it's worth £5500.
What's electric leather? :-)

Mark C.: have a look on ebay, see what similar years/specs are selling for.

So Austin Shackles was, like
Gotta sell the Rangie first, but it sounds nice. Long way away though.

Heated seats gone wrong?
We've been looking around for a newer Discovery to replace our 1990 V8i. Big question is petrol or diesel - Bruce has reservations about the diesel, mostly down to how well it's going to tow our twin axle caravan.
The general condtion is brilliant for its age. Its never been 'worked' and still turns heads with its shine. It has cream leather heated electric seats (7), sat nav, abs , cc, rcl, twin electric sunroof, tow bar (used 7 times!) very good tires all round, 5 spoke alloys, twin airbags, alarm etc etc....
Its actually my dads one and he literally has done 5000 miles in it in the last 3 years needing nothing but a set of glow plugs, brake pads and its services. emissions are really low with no smoke at all on acceleration/pick up. I used it once to tow a series 2a on a massive trailer with 5 people in it and it pulled brilliantly! infact it really cleared it out and was noticably faster after! I work in the motor trade and have had 3 land rovers in the last 2 years, one being a disco 300 and i can honestly say this is still one of the best out there! drives 100%!
What more can i say!
I looked in 'glasses' used car guide but they only had ES spec ones in there, no 'premium'.

PS. the carpet is dry too! lol
It's got wheels ;-)

Hey, that's a novelty. Might buy it for the rarity value alone. ;-)

Sounds nice but its the wrong colour. Bruce wants a green one and he doesn't like to buy cars that are more than 30 or 40 miles away. Also got some surplus to requirements vehicles to get rid of, like the Range Rover, and at some point the Series 3, which Bruce robbed the carb off for the lightweight 'cos it kept cutting out.

Twin axles are not as difficult to tow as people sometimes think. I towed ours OK with a 200 Tdi 90. I now have a 4.0 litre V8 on LPG, but I also tow it perfectly well with a 2.5 petrol VW Transporter auto based camper van
What I mean is, it's not as if you have to walk to see it or carry it home.

I'll tell him. There are definately more diesels than petrol about, but I think he's really would like a V8 with LPG!

Well yes, that's how I ended up with a 50th Anniversary Defender rather than a TD5. The 4 litres (series II Disco) with coil packs are much better than the 3.9s with distributor. Go for a multi-point injection gas system. They're much better now than the single point ones.
