New adventure and new build starts here! Couldn't sit around for much longer without a Landy.
Didn't spend long looking for this one, it just happened to come up at the right time for the right money. Went and picked it up on Saturday! Easy simple stress free drive back, soaked up 300miles like it was nothing. Much easier than the 110! Can't believe the Disco has the same box and same engine as my Defender. Its so much easier to drive.
On to the D2!
Full history back to its first registration, no rot bar some passenger side wheel arch, interior is excellent for the age with all the bells and whistles being an ES Spec. Front sun roof works and leak free, rear sunroof sealed shut.
Exterior is good, no dents, straight body, and the paints is good. Best part it has a Richards galv chassis, rear ARB locker, Ashcroft recon gearbox/TX box, new-ish clutch, OME suspension, polybushed, Baily Morris front prop. Genuine ZU Alloys with brand new Cooper ST Pros (will be for sale soon, too aggressive for my daily driving!) Likely swap those to 33" Toyos or an aggressive ATs
ARB Bumper is nice but I think Ill swap that for something more subtle from DMO or Torque Performance.
Black leather. Will be painting all the creme black + an alcantara headliner.
ARB Rear storage drawers, dog guard and upper storage area.
Quite a few plans for it but want to build a very capable, yet more subtle landy this time round. Something that looks at home in a small village but also happy in 3ft of mud!
