Unusual 300TDi

Terry O Sullivan · Nov 8, 2020

Hello
Bought this the other day for our shoot hack but im thinking i ought to put her in the shed. 300TDi auto. Special vehicles. 3 door. air con. wood effect trim. Wondering why it has the special vehicles badge?
Thanks

Tis a sticker you can get orf eBay.

I would imagine if the 300Tdi is a factory install, then the vehicle would most likely be a special one-off or limited run, because the 3 door discovery's were powered by the 200Tdi up to 93 or thereabouts.

Special vehicles was just the department that handled bespoke orders.

3 door 300tdi isn’t that common so maybe something to do with that, worth seeing what info you can get from LR?

OK. No big deal then. It can stay on the shoot for the season.
Thanks

It looks like a bog standard 300 Tdi facelift MK1 to me, I have a very early 200tdi preface lift with aircon
So not that unusual,

The 1995MY and 1996 MY D1 base models came with with 3 or 5 doors, easily identified by being fitted with steel wheels.

This one had cyclones. Usually associated with 200s

Look at the vin plate.
Does this say special vehicle ?

Whatever, 3 doors r worth more money

Still a few about. More in France where it is drier and peeps hang on to them as they r worth more

Tis special because it has grass growing out the back door!

There were 3 door 300Tdi's, just not many and possibly only early on in the 300 Series.

Or wheels on the wrong sides.

Or reverses up muddy hills a lot.
