    Saw this beside the road this morning!

    Out for a short jaunt this morning and came across this Discovery, or rather what was left of it,

    not sure how long it had been there, no evidence of Police tape etc
    http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...pseab8c028.jpg
    to my untrained eyes, it looks as though it was stolen and torched, see the open can in the back

    another look at the interior

    what a waste, cheers Dennis

    That'll buff out

    Whack a body kit on it, several rows of roof mounted spotlights, a front bar from a sedan and post it on ebay. Say, 'it's a bit tired' and you can ask $5000

    Actually it's a striking way to see how much steel vs aluminium is in a Disco 1

    Yup! steel roof and aluminuim bonnet the exact opposite to a RRC,but a lot of the rest of it are RRC as they were able to produce a lifestyle vehicle on an existing platform and bridge the price gap between the 110 and the late RRC,knowing that the P38a was about to enter production.

    It also was the start of the oriental leisure vehicle market.

    I think this may have had something to do with it?



    Interesting that it had the steel spare on the rear LHS. Any sign of the alloy of is that on ebay?

    Not quite... Pajero was a few years ahead.. First released in 1982, 1983 saw the longer, 5 door model, and in 87 the 'full fruit' model (heated seats etc) came out.
    The 3 litre SOHC V6 was in the '89 version, same year that the Disco 1 in 3-door was released. A year later Disco got 2 more doors... no more room as the wheelbase was still 100" vs the Paj's 106"

    Isuzu brought out their Trooper in 1981, 5 doors on a 104" wheelbase

    I still reckon that the Japs frightened the hide-bound hierachy at LR into belated action...
