Hello everyone,
Just moved from Belgium to the UK recently, for profesional reasons. I've ALWAYS wanted a Land Rover, and this is the best excuse I've ever had so far!
My grandfather owned a 1953 Series 1, and I literally fell in love with land Rovers at that point. We still have the Series 1 which is sadly rotting in the woods at the moment (lost the papers...), I'd love to find a chassis with matching papers some day, and get it back on the road! One day, maybe...
Right now, I'd really love an early Defender (Tdi engines) but they're incredibly expensive, so I thought I'd go for a Disco instead. Always liked the Disco 1 (especially the 3 door models) and the Disco 2 pre facelift models.
I guess I'll find all the info I need here, mainly looking for buying advice. I've read several threads speaking of what to look for on Disco 1s, but don't know that much about the Disco 2. Looking for Tdi/TD5 or LPG fitted V8s with manual transmission. Keeping in mind that this will be a daily driver, not doing many miles daily, just maybe occasionally a bit more.
Oh, and are there any Land Rover "meetings"/shows/exhibitions around Essex in the summer? I'd love to go to one, time permitting.
Cheers guys!
