To buy or not to buy a V8 D2?

Out of interest how much did you pay for it
I ask because I'm in two minds whether to sell my 2004 D2 V8
As a 3rd car it don't get used much but I do like it

Just like mine maybe... weekend use only, so 1247 miles for the last year between MOTs and 2011-12 year it was only 1024 but then it's only fuel, tax and insurance I have to pay for.

Mine is still on petrol but is used daily,just doesnt do many miles,8k in two years,I love it to drive as its a lot smoother and quieter than the Td5's,my other half was its main pilot but I have managed to regain control.......................for the minute !!

We use ours daily, have run up 60K miles in 4 years, I use it for company work as well as private stuff and the LPG is a 'must have' if you are running any decent mileage.

A good run every now and then is essential to get the moisture out of the exhaust silencers and to clear the cat's.

Just had a clutch fitted in ours last week, the new one we fitted with the engine started getting 'grabby', but it looked fine when we got it out

We run it on 255/65R16 Nexen Roadian A/T's, great car to go long distance in.

I paid £3700.00 for it. It is the D2 featured on the front cover and used in the August issue of Land Rover Monthly! It has had quite a few new parts fitted and has a full years MOT so I was prepared to pay around that figure.

August issue looks like its a fender on front cover,september shows an 02 plate Disco 2,is that the one ?

I just checked the date of the mag, it says August 2013 on the front cover left hand bottom corner, but September 2013 on page 3! it is a 02 plate Disco 2 with the heading "Disco Survival" above the photo.
