All of the important G-WAC's - the 86 press fleet ones - were registered on 1st October 1989. There are quite a few of these still around, although some have been butchered for off-roading. At last count, there were a dozen good examples in the hands of Discovery Owners Club members.

you don't use them enough then!!!! :lol:

I think they are more a upper arm muscle build up thing. You have to swap sides obviously to build up both arms!!!

Ah !! so that won't help the large flabby belly then.
Maybe I could fashion some sort of clever device that creates a 'total body workout' using the window winder.
Sorry this thread seems to be taking a different tack !! :lol:

Maybe the 'Wonder Window Workout' could be the next big seller on QVC or  the 'Fresh Air Fat Fighter' I could go on for ages :lol:

Mine's an 89 'H' VIN prefix HA cannot put my hands on the V5 ATM

And for the record (having tackled the tin-worm at purchase) has given me 18 months trouble free motoring, and everything fitted in the factory still works, except the sunroofs which I have siliconed shut..

*EDIT* H plate is of course 91 - dodgy maths there. 18/08/91 to be exact (found the V5) VIN HA 4516 which I'm guessing means #4516 in 1991. Only wacky thing it has is RRC hubs rather than the slightly later Defender style ones meaning Boost wheels, for example, won't fit as Paddocks & I found out ;)

Mine's got no sunroof either, what with the wind up windows must be really rare and worth a packet ?
Plus the added extra of the 'belly bustin' window workout' which now uses just my buttock muscles to open the window !!!!!

Ours has no sunroofs either, still has electric windows!

92 j plate, metal moths have been feasting well, but the bulk of it has been replaced with "second course" so once rear cross member, and a few dubious bit of the repairs are sorted old Jud should be fine. engine excellent, 160k, gearbox has a few charms thrown in (sounds like a few spanners thrown in when dropping into 2nd!) most wear and tear parts replaced, 2 sunroofs, i dont really care if they leek (although i dont think they do?) as long as i dont have a shower while i`m driving!

heater blower by name.. not by nature
content for the time been, but this is part of a bigger plan anyway  :twisted:

I have a 300 series 94 es in the sig.

But new purchase is a December 89 v8 manual. It is in very good condition, also has various Range Rover things on it. Paint code sticker, pedal rubbers that I have found so far, still looking through it all :)

Just gotta get around to cutting the back off now  :twisted: . I might end up selling i tho as it is too good for what I want to do with it.
