Bush Tucker Man:
After the reaction to this Poll, I thought; "I'll try & capture a few" :lol:
Now this is going to be a damn hard one to do, at there was (apparantly) only 275 built (UK market only??)

This follows on from the long running (& now missing in action) 'Fabulous 50th's'[/i] thread, whch had reached about 19pages?? (bet I can't stretch this one out that much???)

So a few (repeated) bits about the specification (& mine)
1999 'V' plated
12 seats as standard (mine has an all-steel cubby-box)
Bronze Green & Sage Green were the available colours (not even seen a picture of a Sage 110)
Green leather seating (complete, not just the faces)
Silvered door & bonnet hinges
Ivory instruments with chrome bezels
Running-bars/side-steps
'XS' style alloys on 110 (Discovery 1 XS) & 'Free-Styles on 90

Admittedly I'm having a few 'teething troubles' :roll:  with mine, which are annoying after an incident free 30,000miles in the Discovery (Discovery breakdowns = 2 new bulbs & a new tyre)

It's been out today over to the wilds of the Lincolnshire coast (a 190+mile round trip), with only a coat of road-grime to show for it.
We went 'Seal Hunting' :wink:
(See here)

I'd like some higher gearing at some point (spoilt by Discovery??), perhaps the GKN overdrive?, as it seems more logical than raising the high-range gearing, especially for towing.

Bush Tucker Man:
And here it is, captured on Wednesday 4th (January) with the Ifor-Williams at the local land-fill after a trip with all the rubbish since the last collection (2 weeks prior)

Can't get through the gate now, too high, had to have it opened for me :lol:

Good luck looking for a 90 - 50th, there's 2(?) in the private sales in the Feb 'LRM'

Bush Tucker Man:
Be-stickered, applied on Saturday morning (nice & quiet at work, parked only about 30yards from department as well :wink:

Apologies for poor quality images, it was wet & manky when I took them
