Rare buy,
Looks in a sorry state but would love to see it turned into a good resto thread

What a load of pretensious crâp !!!

Just visited the Overfinch site and had a look at what they do.

£189,000 for a 2nd hand posh Range Rover with tasteless red interior - you can keep it as far as I'm concerned.

When Overfinch was making a name for itself in the 90's they did things - technical stuff - that Land Rover/Range Rover didn't do. As a result an Overfinch was much more of a drivers car.

But now it seems that they are pandering to the garish tastes of the nouveau riche and as a result have lost any respect from the likes of me.

Na its a different business now, name bought out a while back by different outfit. A real overfinch was not pretentious crap I agree! The discos are rare compared to rrc and they mostly used small block chevy and uprated running gear, suspension etc... not sure about the auto box mind, a 5 speed is far more desirable.
They were quality bits of kit. I think griffman may have one in rrc guise? Could be wrong. Defo worth a couple ok k even as a basket case.

Wow, I've never heard of an overfinch Discovery. I'd love to have a go! Although I'm not sure how a big old bus with a Chevy 5.0 in would handle

Doesn't matter because it would always have just run out of petrol.

Shame we can't do it as a collective.

My wife would have a meltdown. And then a divorce.
