Hmm, i approve of the bonatti grey buyt not the white roof! Otherwise it looks nice, i hope he got it in at least county if not XS trim with lots of extras, at this late stage i personally would have been holding out for the new model unless this one was mega cheap!

we got 2 grand knocked off the price on the window and when the sales man went  out back to see if he could get it any better i phoned up their  sister dealership to ask for a price. when the salesman returned we got another 200 off

Saving £2200 and yes it got all the toys.

How strange....what an odd spec its turning out to be, i've also noticed its got black wheel arch spats rather than painted ones, doesnt look like its got the TD5 bumper ends on the front bumper and i'm sure its just the angle but the front and rear alloys look different!

None have airbags, but it does look like the flat one rather than the TD5 humped one.

wheels are all the same including ali spare.
He was after one without the rear windows.
Td5 with electric windows, radio cd player and lots more.

He has always had landrovers and when he retired he said he get a van, so he brought this last weekend.
As he said, dog, fishing and the odd plumming job...what else could he want.

I'm sorry but NO NO NO, the Landrover fashion Police will be all over that 90 like a bad rash.

Get him to book it in with the nearest spray shop and get the roof sprayed... god I know (as an ex 101 Ambi owner) beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that roof... arrghhhhh I need a bucket.

Looks like an "E" spec (hence no rear windows) with dealer fitted Alloys.
Should just have a tray where you would put the cubby box, or may have a centre seat.

You can get county's with white roofs but they wont have the alpine lights. Not sure about black arches but deffo a peasant spec tarted up to sell. Still nice though!

I used to have a white roof, but it now has that lovely Land Rover green algae feature that you get when you park it in the drive under an apple tree.

There must be some corking bargains out there on Td5s.

I just couldn't resist the 2007 model. Seven weeks and counting until my avatar changes to my real truck...

Nah mudmoney your's is fine... nothing against blue and nothing against white... It't just that my mind has been conditioned to accept metalic blue as having a metalic blue roof too.

I think if the one at the start had white 8 spokes it would look more balanced ... if not dated... and wrong.... What is the number for Crime stoppers again?  :wink:

I've got a gloss roller here... come on... you know you want to  :lol:
