Cool! I want it! Stand out from the crowd!!!!!

How about buying this!!

1987 RANGE ROVER TACR2 RED on eBay (end time 17-Feb-11 16:12:17 GMT)


Want to be an individual? Want to not be able to park anywhere? Then this is for you. Could be quite useful although im not sure for what yet!!

Apparently according to the listing it's a 4cc engine. It must be powered by a mouse.

Yeah but have you seen the mileage !!!

Well someones bid on it!
Can you imagine how bad the mpg would be!
Still I bet it's a hoot to drive plus no road tax...

id had it.But why would the police have a fire engine?

Done

Who's gonna bid next so I don't win it? It's like a game of Russian eBay Roulette!!

I suppose it would be useful for putting out Gaylander engine fires...

May be a silly question but why no road tax?

The description says it has a 3.8 V8. Hmm, that would make it quite unique.

It never fails to amaze me how many listings have such bad photos.....You don't have to have an expensive camera..Hell, even ebay has basic editing tools so they can atleast be cropped properly!!. **** photos, **** spelling....just gives the impression to me that the seller generally doesn't give a **** about the vehicle either

I'm not sure why I think it must be an old law. If it can still carry water and fight fires no tax.. (which is nice!)

Well it went for £4500
Do you rekon it was worth it and would you have paid that for it?
Or do you know who bought it?

i think it is because it is classed as plant,not a motor vehicle.

Plant? does it have flowers?? Fire engines are exempt from road tax as far as I am told, used to know a bloke with a couple of old Dennis motors, straight 8 Rolls petrol motor in one, went like the clappers, made a V8 rangie look positively economical

Don't know about tax. But on the airfield i worked on, Lizzy and the Greek freak were due in so they had to have a fire engine at each end of the runway. The old Dennis broke down half way across the apron, so they towed it to it's station at the far end of the runway. Bloody good job the old Devon didn't burst into flames.

I notice that it's been re-listed on Ebay! So there's still a chance to grab yourself a bit of a one off machine!

It's still up for grabs guys!
There's about half an hour left... ;-)
