I had a ride this evening
Rear seats are far better/more comfortable than my old 110Td5 CSW (this is a 7 seater, mine was a 12)

It seemed odd seeing it, as they left
Whilst the LED headlghts were good, having the 'halo' side-lights gave it an odd appearance, compared to the separate side-lights as standard
The upper position is now the indicators (was side-lights), the lower a fog-light, with 4(!) 'DRL's in the bumper
'NAS' sized (LED) rear-lights

The roof-rack has been removed, to allow paint-work to be sorted out, where it was bolted on
The alloys are 'Kahn Design', with 255/55 x 18 (?) BFG tyres

Would prefer a FX4 pick-up?
(Range Rover underpinnings)

Those look like 9.00x16 Petlas, they were (still are?) a popular tread alternative for 101FCs
(probably a lot cheaper than anything by Michelin)

Now that looks like a real G-Wagon, to me!!
Not the atchetypal 'pimped up', on 'rubber-band' tyres, that's seen around
£152,815 is a fair chunk though!

Completely agree, if you can swallow the price it’s a stunner!

I was having a bit of a clear-out
SWMBO calls me a 'hoarder', I use the term 'collector'

Would you prefer this?

I've seen this one a couple of times, it used to be owned by someone in the Halifax area, in the late 90's/early 00's

@Drago, how about one of these?
