Finally got a green oval again
Well 2 years after selling my old discovery 3 which was a sterling motor but did require a fair bit spending on it over the 3 years I owned it from 80k-115k but due to doing mountain of short journeys I sold it and went back to a TD5 manual (huge mistake) that lastest 2 months till got new job with company motor. Well after 12 months away with pickups (company car) I missed the comfort so after looking for 7 months I bit the bullet I bought one very nearly bought met’s one but due to work issues I missed it. But found a 2010 HSE at local dealer so paid little more then should but is immaculate full LR history every 7k with just over 60k on clock so after than long winded story you can tell I’m over the moon! Would have preferred an 8 speed but went on condition first. Will add more photos as go not sure what will do with it but done 800miles over Xmas and new year.

But have already had one moment hit a swan coming out of a dyke at 60 just decided to fly as I went past but this was all the damage but still £800 to sort may have to wait a while.

not a good start to your ownership When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. All of the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid.

The price in the end is from panel beater as will need respect as paints cracked around dent. Bonnet looks tempting.
