This guy just sold this vehicle on eBay claiming it was a 1999 and when I informed him it appeared to be an earlier model he tells me I'm an idiot. He claims that carfax checks it out as a 99, so it is. Whats up with that???

Could easily be a '99 ...
Just looked further and found it to be the last of the disco 1 series that overlapped the first year of Disco 2. I guess I am an idiot then...

lokos like a late "300" type, in which case it could be a '99. '99 is about when they changed to the SII.
M SAL Manufacturer code: Land Rover J Model: NAS Discovery, 200/300 Series Y Model specification: 49 state emissions, 100in
1 Body type: 5-door, closed (station wagon, hard top) 2 Engine type: 3.9 litre V8 petrol, or 4.0 litre V8 petrol (OBD II) 4 Steering, transmission, GVW: Left-hand drive (LHD), 4-speed automatic, 6000lb 2 Checksum code: checks out ok X Model year: 1999 A Assembly location: Solihull, UK 562336 Serial numberso I guess it's legit.
I wouldn't say you were an idiot, it would have struck me as odd too. It looks like the last of the old bunch. However, there are a few
300Tdis on the road with T or even V/W plates - these will be vehicles which spent an extra year somewhere in a field in Solihull, or elsewhere in the system, before somebody remembered to register and sell them.I saw a W plated 300Tdi in Surrey a few months back. It did make me double-take. I think this makes me very sad.
