    Drum roll please

    The time has come for the driveway to be graced with a Landrover

    On Tuesday night I called a guy about a Discovery and at 2am this morning it was in my driveway having come all the way from Sydney.

    This car is in fantastic condition. No rust I can see and only a few small dents with near perfect paint. The interior looks almost brand new

    It's a 1994 update manual V8 with 156000 kms in base model trim plus:
    ARB winchbar and Warn 8000lb low mount winch
    John Davis computer power upgrade
    Little spotlights front and rear
    Towbar
    Redone roof lining and dash top
    CD player and all new speakers
    Alarm
    Dual batteries
    GME UHF
    Compressor under passenger seat
    Rear cargo drawers home made but very well done
    Factory mags with 255/70 16 H/T looking tyres
    Factory cruise control
    Lifted King springs and Bilstein shocks
    Roof racks

    It also came with:
    Snatch strap
    Tree protector
    Winch pulley
    Rated shackles
    3 way fridge
    Bunch of new spare service parts

    Thanks go out to everyone for helping with info and looking at cars. I really appreciate it.


    These are the photos from the ad.

    I was originally wanting the manifold tank on the cargo floor but I like the drawers so maybe twin gas underneath tanks with sill tanks for fuel might be the go.
    I'll just drive it for a while as is and see how it goes. I've got a rear locker to fit and I'm going to look for some off road tyres and steel rims to suit in about 32in size. That should keep me busy for a little while

    Thanks mate. We have a club trip next weekend but hopefully I won't need the winch

    But then again with those tyres...

    I forgot that it also came with Vol 1 and 2 of the Disco repair manual in two binders. The photo on the front looks the same as the RAVE CD I have. Maybe it is the hardcopy version? Will be good to carry in the car I reckon.
