Discovery

In a moment of madness, I've managed to persuade the Missus that a 200TDi Disco would be a good daily runner for her, and that if we could find an unmolested one it could be a future classic - especially as most now seem to have been heavily modified for off roading!! So we have found one for £900 and collect it at the weekend. I will report back on any faults that develop

Checked the boot floor? And all the other floors, for that matter?.

Checked all the usual rust spots and it's pretty solid. Will attack any small rust spots over the winter and paint/Waxoly the underside. Got another 200 that I'm currently scrapping so got a good supply of used parts. With most of the older Discos now scrapped or used for off roading, I thought it would be nice to preserve one.

I fancy a series 2 or 3 for teaching my 16 year old daughter to drive next april. I figured that depreciation would be zero, and insurance cheap ?

...and if she can drive a Series, she'll be able to drive anything.

It'll be cheap to insure whilst she's a learner but watch it go bonkers when she passes her test!

had a young lad knock on my door lst night asking if my td5 disco was for sale ( he'd spotted it hadnt moved for a while lol)

he is just about to take his test and had asked for a quote on a defender.. 9k to buy the defender 6k to insure it for a year !!!

seems times have changed from when landrovers were the cheap option for kids to insure.
