Freelander 1 Checking an L Series

Yep. I've done the 'change you mind' chat. Gambling that the guy needs the space more than he needs that last few quid.
Quite interested because one of the freelanders he had was in a colour I've not seen before. Like a metallic grape. Looked cracking with the black hardtop.

A late Xdi has just appeared near me at a really decent price so hopefully I can see it tonight and nobody gets to it first.
Half the price of the other one I was looking at and lower mileage.

Sounds good keep us posted!

No MOT and SORN which makes it tricky when your drive is full. I notice that it is currently parked on the road though... Tut tut.
Wish people would flog the cars when there was a coupe of weeks MOT left to make it easier to fettle while it can be moved!

Trailer it is then!

Hate it when people post an advert with email address and mobile number and then don't respond to either.

They can't be fussed about a sale in that case another one will turn up I'm sure

Indeed.
A reputable dealer near me is prepping one at the moment. Bit on the pricey side but with history, low mileage and someone to shout at it might be worth the initial outlay. You can soon undo any saving when you need tyres, VCU etc.

Whenever I hear a dealer is "prepping" a car all I hear in my head is that they're greasing the tyres and topping up the engine sawdust. Then polishing the whole thing.
