97 200 TDi ?

Range Rover Blues:
Yes mine was first registered abroad and DVLA registered it based on the original build date so to get a Q plate there must be something up with it.

Horness:
Hi Guys - I'm still considering this Disco.

I have not had a HPI done, but the owners have shown me all the paperwork regarding the "Q" plate.  It's a 95 vehicle which was stolen in 97, and when it was found (some 18 months later) it had been completely stripped.  It was rebuilt, mainly using 200 series parts, but as age/origin of the parts used could not be verified, the DVLA gave it a Q plate.

Since the rebuild nearly 6 years ago, it's been through every MoT with nothing more than bulbs etc. on the check sheets, has recently had the boot floor welded, and now has a full service and 12 months MoT under it's belt.
It does have a leaky front sunroof. :roll:

Essentially - the owners have offered it me for next to nothing, as they know I'll use it.  I won't be paying any more than about £600 for it, possibly less.

As I've been away in France for a week, and my Devon winch bumper has arrived - I'd forgot all about it!

Boggert:
Well you know the history, I would have no issues with that as long as as you are happy with it, £600 or less seems ok to me.

I would check with your insurance company first... to see how much it will cost as its on a Q plate.

Cal:
Sounds pretty good - for £600 I'd go for it as long as insurance is OK.

Disco_Dunk:
Yep - for that money you don't need to worry about re-sale value, just drive it till it dies.

Knowing it's history, and buying it from a (presumably) truested source is a bonus - I'd bite their arm off.

Might be worth trying one of the specialist insurers like Adrian Flux who cover 4x4's and kit cars (often on Q-plates)
