97 200 TDi ?
Horness:
I have been offered this 200 series Disco, which is on a "Q" plate.
Looking up the registration on the DVLA shows the date of first registration as 01/06/1997. Is this the date that it was recovered and re-registered, as I thought 200's were all pre 96 (ish).
It's quite tidy (a few cosmetic mods not to my taste), but essentially I was going to give my Father to use.
136K on the clock, 12 months MOT, anyone know how much it's worth?
Cheers
Horness

You're right, the 200 TDi stopped being put in Discos in 1994 so, unless some has put a 200 TDi engine into a 300 series body, then you have a pre 1994 vehicle that has been re-registered on a Q plate.
Kit car, ex-MOD and vehicles that don't make the points total required to keep an original regestration when rebuilt from different vehciles were issued with the Q plate so check on the history a bit more. :wink:
Horness:
It's a 200 series through-and-through, but the DVLA registration is 01/06/1997. I presume this is when the "Q" was assigned.
The current owners are parents of a friend of mine, and if I want it, it's well under book value, even for a 3 door 200 on a Q. The previous owner must have loved it as there are loads of little (cheap!) comfort mods. :roll:
There is a full history of servicing, 12 months MOT, and a bill for a recent gearbox/tbox rebuild.
As it won't be a daily drive, the only real set back is the Q plate on the insurance. For the money I'd be paying for the vehicle, a £40 HPi seems expensive.
Jas278:
If its on Q plate the chances are that it has had an insurance claim against it at some point, hence it will be on the register with a catergoty attached giving some indication as too why its a Qplate. The trade values such vehicles, at half book value, hope this helps.....

Hi Horness
so what was the outcome of the HPI check ?>
Was it an insurance write off with a category attached?
Or other reason - did you buy?
