last of the D2's?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

had a look at a very nice '04 D2 at a yard yesterday,
Leather, 7seats, safari bar with HIDs, snorkle, long range tank,and only 64,000kays----

the question is,,
when were the last D2's made/plated?

I'm pretty sure it was 2004. That is the last year you can research on Red Book for one, then it goes onto the D3 in 05.

I was pretty sure they were plated to early 05...just did a quick search...


Discovery II V8
March 1999 - March 2005

THE Discovery Mk2 was a rehashed version of the 1991 original that was actually based on the first-generation Range Rover released in 1970. And didn’t it look and feel like an old truck! Narrow doors, tight packaging and a ponderous, pendulous to the handling and ride did little to encourage keen driving. And older still was the early-‘60s derived Buick V8 that saw service in everything from Rovers to Australia’s Leyland P76. In this 4.0-litre application it produced 136kW/340Nm and was tied to a four-speed automatic gearbox. A current-shape Range Rover-style headlight treatment was fitted in late 2002, but otherwise the Mk2 Discovery V8 remained much the same over its six-year run.

I dont recon you will find an 05,there are two dates on the vehicles,build date plate in front of airbox,compliant plate on right hand guard under bonnet under brake booster.


Mine is built 01/04,compliant 05/04,1st rego,06/04.The stealer told me it was one of the last ones,no more were coming in(if you can believe them).
I also remember there was a fair gap between them running out of the old S2,and the arrival of the S3,at least 6 to 8 months from memory.


The last of them were badged CLASSICS,& came in either TOWN or COUNTRY pack.

They were by far the best of the model run,i had the earlier ones,& said by JC.....


Mines got 66k on it,i gotta look after it is i got bucklys of finding another..............
