Photo of T582 ...

And a resprayed 90 that I see on a regular basis


Saw both of them again this morning on Marsh Way in Wakefield.
However, my memory must be going as the plate is actually 'T482 JHD'
No photos as we were all in traffic.

Spotted 2 FreeLander 50th's on Sunday.
One was a new one to me. H14 AEC, not too sure about the other as I couldn't see the plate.
Not in a position to photograph either one though.

Saw one this afternoon on the B6267 (A1 to Masham road)
It was on a 'J' personalised plate.
It approached from the opposite direction & turned in front of me down a side road.

I think I saw another at the Masham Steam Rally.
I think it may be a stolen/recovered or a rebuild, as it had grey lacquered 'Free-Style' alloys & a grey cloth interior.

It was also on a 'R' plate. I guess it's not simply had a respray as the paint was very well scratched & dinged.

That's nice Jake, but it's more keeping in with Andys style of cleanliness.

So long as mine's clean & tidy with no rubbish inside it, I'm not bothered what state the outside's in

See what I mean?? :lol:

50th Discovery spotted yesterday at th Hospital.

Well?, it was in Atlantis Blue, Boost alloys, Lightstone leather.
However it bore 'ES' badges.


I'll guess that the 50th badges were nicked & the dealer could only offer 'ES' varients?

Will post pictures later, as camera is outside in Discovery

Spotted. 3-door FreeLander near junction 30 on M1 last night about 17:30-18:00.
S??? OUW
Plus a very tasty Epsom Green 110Tdi CSW near where the M18 joins.
Driver waved, but no visible stickers, 110-man must have seen my mud & thought 'enthusiast' (but his was spotless)
