Terrible car. Besides, isn't a P38 or equivalent more sheddish?

No thanks, not my cup of tea.

The Volvo and Jag mentioned above seem to be much better SOTW candidates!

Thanks, they took less than 1 min to find.....lazy shed is lazy or is this the way PH is going?

Chuck any old st up as SOTW as long as it is under a grand? PH at least make it look like you have considered the target audience.

Truly awful car and shed feature. These are the epitome of crap.

Am I on pistonheads today or lostheads?

the redeeming feature is it's a 3 door so there are two fewer doors to go wrong.

What a croc of st. Sorry, British car industry.

[rastapasta]

wow seems like theres alot of hate for this...

My old man has a 2005 bmw engined diesel one for the farm. says its very bumpy but otherwise will pull quite well. Then again its a newer model.

Top trolling shed!

[MarJay]

A friend of mine was given one. It never worked. In the end he parked it three or four streets away and left it there. He didn't miss it.

[Motorrad]

Not a car I'd like to buy in it's frail old dotage.

[athol]

Yugos can be cool. You can't do this with a Freelander!

[BalhamBadger]

Some people seem to be taking this article far too seriously. For me, shed is first and foremost an entertaining read on a Friday morning, which this article delivers in its usual droll style. It's not a recommendation to go out and buy!

[Bennet]

I can't quite imagine what set of motoring needs anyone could ever have where a £1000 freelander would be a logical, sensible answer.

[muppet42]

Universally approved SOTW then this week, bravo!

Still waiting for the day a Stilo 2.4 graces this section...

[hacksaw]

Horrendous, had an X plate 1.8 freelander in 2000 that blew its head gasket twice in 6 months. Also used to go through brake pipes every year, plus all the electric windows packed up... and on and on and on. Worse car I have ever owned.

Ah, someone who understands Shed! Not like the "Ahm oot" types who make sound like they're actually being offered the car and the "Look what I found that's better" types who must see what SOTW is and then immediately start on the classifieds so they can show how clever they are.

Jesus, it's just an article. It's my favourite part of PH and it's all the "Dad had one and it was brilliant/crap/reliable/rubbish" responses that make it interesting.
Lighten up.

[ellisd82]

I will take the Volvo mentioned by blade - I actually would by it if I didn't have too many cars on the driveway at the moment lol
As for this, just appalling. My brother is a JLR mechanic so has worked on a few of these. The newest incarnation of really nice. He gets them for when he is sent on a training course to drive to the venue, which is often quite a drive. They are much better now, but this shed, would not touch with...

That's a Photoshop. Does a real one exist?

[athol]

100% mate. The proportions look great too. Something the Pontiac/MR2 Ferrari fakers could learn a thing or two about.

This is quite close to me.

Will 994 other people join me in chipping in a quid to buy it? If so I'll take it to a local quarry and push the useless piece of st into the water with the windows open.

Hateful conveyance.
