I thought the Disco 3 chassis was used as the underpinnings of the RR Sport too?
(which would make them the same?)

I'd never do that Ian.  :D
I was obviously mis-informed.
I shall hunt the culprit down, tie them to the back of my car and take them through a ford.
 :lol:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that it didn't sell at all well in the beginning and it nearly brought about the demise of the company. It was only after Land Rover won Exporter of the Year that sales picked up. This was due to them exporting all the Discoverys in stock to a compound in North Africa.

I wonder if they are still there?

p.s. this was a rumour that was going around at the time.

Hi there, I don't subscribe to the snobbishness of my motor is better than yours, it's just that a Disco suits my needs at the moment. It is a good daily driver, tows our 2/3 tons club trailer and does a bit of gentle off roading.                                                                                                 For my off roading I would like a Series 88"er with parabolic springs. But unfortunatly my pocket won't stretch to a LR for that so a Suzuki Samurai has to suffice. I must admit it is the most fun you can have and keep your clothes on and at a price I can afford.                                                     The Suzuki is also trailered to events behind my wife's Disco, so I can really go for it and not worry about having to drive it home.
I must admit I enjoy the frendly banter that goes on between 4x4 owners as long as we don't take each other too seriously.
Keep it muddy :wink:
