Well a 2nd Land Rover arrived in my life, a new (10-years new) Discovery II in Epsom Green! Purchased from DBC 4×4 in Derby and delivered by trailer, pulled by guess what a Discovery I workhorse of course! Low range box engaged it hauled the shiny new Discovery & trailer up the 1:7 incline to out house with no problem.
It’s a great car and replaces our 7 seat family VW Touran; the Disco has 7 seats with 2 proper forward facing rear seats, with easy access to them for the kids through the large rear door, unlike the VW… Other things not like the VW (and also a long way from my Defender too!) are fantastic luxury like full leather, climate control, heated seats & windscreen and so on, and of course enormous off road ability; but overall it’s a great family car we’re really happy with, and of course it’s Landy so that makes it better right off, the kids love it almost as much as the Defender.
