    WHICH Disco...?

    Well, I finally went to see the gold/sand coloured TD5... Geez, I will not say I was disappointed but they should have looked after the car before listing it. Very nice on the outside, no visible rust in the mud traps, no rust under the carpets BUT the armrest is very worn and there is something...

    WHICH Disco...?

    CNG is "Compressed Natiral Gas", which ... OOOPS! I was using the US expression for Methane... Yes, I actually did mean LPG, which we call GPL... The red V8 petrol is already registered as an Oldtimer, because it was OH'd by the Land Rover Register. Will be seeing the 10p TD5 (ten pence? XD)...

    WHICH Disco...?

    Yes, the m.y. 2003 Disco II with self levelling suspension and all the goodies, including a lockable central diff. The seller wanted more than I was willing to spend. The big issue with diesels in Italy (big cities, really) you can't drive through town with a Euro4 down. Petrols can be modified...

    WHICH Disco...?

    Thanks all. First things first, early generation Land Rovers will actually fetch higher prices than later versions of the same model. A TD300 Defender or Discovery, if in good nick, will actually be more expensive than a TD4 or V6TDi. I can find a V6 Discovery III for €8000, or a Discovery II...

    Trans Africa North South - anyone?

    Hello all, Maurizio here from Rome, Italy. I joined long ago and read a lot but never really contributed much - until now. My previous 4x4 was a Tata Safari 3.0, wonderful offroad but with hideous electronics worthy of the best Peter Sellers - if you'll forgive the pun. I'm now "shopping" for...

    Hellooo Landyzoners !

    YES ! By Foley !!! I had actually emailed them some time ago asking if they were willing to duplicate one of their old projects (a 6x6 Discovery V8) but never got a reply. I'll ask about this 130, thank you !

    Hellooo Landyzoners !

    Hellooo Landyzoners ! My name is Maurizio, 57 from Rome, Italy. Although I have never owned a Land Rover (yet) I have cut my teeth in offroading thanks to some 38 years in the Army and 9 years with a Tata Safari 3.0 ... cheap, sturdy, tough as a nail but with hopeless logistics. Aaah, well... I...
