    obviously he didn't drive to far, and at that price it's a steal. get a mechanic to check it over and buy it before someone else does.

    I'm thinking its possibly been wrecked and rebuilt. The reason for chopping the roof is a roll-over or some other severe damage to that area. Also the respray (that's not an original colour), wheels etc and the low mileage could even be a replacement dash, or it was off the road for a long while.

    One option is to give Land Rover a call and see if they can tell you anything of the vehicles history, they just need the VIN number.

    My reasoning is based on some county's I've seen that have had the same done to them.

    My exact thoughts, I would want to see the original top or at least some proof of its sale. Not that a rollover is all that bad, but would the next purchaser want a soft top? As you say dm_TD5, its also the wheels (bent originals?) and paint job. Pity its aluminium ( for once) as the magnet test won't work to find any bog.
