Range Rover Blues:
Well I've wanted one since I was about 10, but the way prices are going and so many have been chavved up recently too....

Anyway, I have a mate who's in the trade and more of a petrolhead than me.  The car had been in Essex 'till about 4 years ago, untaxed since '87.  It then moved to the Chesterfield area, became abandoned again and changed hands for some reason, but the second of these two guys I believe was not a dyed in the wool Escort nut.

Anyway, he wanted something my mate was selling and offered up the RS as a part chop, for not enough money and promptly lost his hand.

I told my mate to buy it because it was a bargain and if he decided to sell it I'd give him what he paid with interest.

Fortunatley my mate gets bored quickly, and his idea of fast is the TVR Chimera 430HC at his mother's, so I saved up my pocket money and bought it last summer for a good price, mainly because it was in his showroom and he got sick of people with too much money wanting to buy it to re-shell a rally car they'd stuffed (once I lost my temper with one of them in the showroom in fact).

So to save it's life he let me have it for what was in my piggy bank :D

In the last 2 years it's more than doubled in value :shock: as has my insurance premium :x

Anyway, I like them in red too, red ones are faster you know ;) but being as it's white with a factory black roof and has a similar number to that RS 2000 it turns heads, with those who know it's not a Cortina :doh:
