my ute. HA008117
early 1991.

I know that Phil's ute is older, but I used to own HA010656 - and this is what it looked like in 2008 when I sold it. I actually sort of miss it but getting a roof-over-head came first.

I must admit it still had a lot a life in it for an almost 20 yo vehicle.

1993 V8 3.5 Auto bronze KA048122
i know of a matching car with better body.

but i just bought a 96 3.9.

When I was here in 1996 I purchased a 1991 3 Door 3.5V8i. Can't remember the chassis number but the original owner told me it was one of the first Discoveries in South Australia.
Unfortunately I had to sell it when I was back in the UK as we simply had too many cars and it wasn't being used.
