In my opinion if it sounds too good to be true then it normally is, it's very cheap and if there is only a little work to do to it then why hasn't the seller done it, to up the price? Do you not have someone that can go down and have a look with you. Good luck with your purchase. I hope it's a good one

Why would a garage who looks like they deal in land rovers not mot the car?????
Must have some probs. Plus the price has been reduced so how long has it been for sale???
Go for a look, take a small hammer and scewdriver and go over the chassis and bulkhead, I suspect you will find more than enough rust to keep you busy. Do a search on here for what to look for

Go for it mate, it looks like a great project and for £2000 it's a steal. I'm from Bangor and have a Discovery in the drive in worse shape...
