Rarity for LR perverts - a manuel disco 4:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155548481737

I am die-hard manuel box fan wrt performance cars, but not big SUVs. I would not have chosen manuel for either of our Discos.

I wouldn’t have chosen a manual x5 if they had existed, but I miss not being able to give it the odd blip of throttle now and again without the thing trying to lurch forward

My Disco 3 was a Manuel, not the worst box tbf, decently chosen ratios, not a bad shift for what it was, and the clutch was light.

I'm sure they did a manuel 3.0d, but obvs not your 4.8is.

Also; I have these now:

I keep looking, I have a strong urge to switch the Cayenne for a Disco 4, because my fleet is boringly reliable and I need some excitement in my life.

Well, if it is a project Disco 4 you're after, then I know of one coming up for sale soon! Black, cream leather, auto, probably some nice options. It will need a few bits in the engine bay, as it was torched. Nothing of use left from the A-pillar forwards, quite a bit of damage at the back. Looks like the exhaust caught fire/was hot enough to ignite the rear bumper.

Belongs to a guy around the corner from here. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Feck. A bit above my pay grade I think.

They're great cars, I'd have another, looked for a V8 Disco 4 for some time, but the 5.0 is no more reliable than the V6 diesel, and a mapped 3.0 would have a lot more pulling power than the V8.

Shame the Disco 5 is nowhere near the car the 4 was.

This looks cool as a kind of pop-up workshop, fit it out with a full length workbench & storage and an awning on the front so you can work under shelter. If I thought I could get away with one in the front garden I'd be right on it

That's always on my mind with the Cayenne. It's good as a car, and makes a nice noise, but you need to get the revs up to get any urgency from it and I feel a bit of a pillock doing that. Big low end grunt is where it's at. And that needs turbots. The Touareg was awesome in that respect. FFRR TDV8 should be similar - that engine in the Disco 4 is what I need.

Spotted via Twitter : You’d have to REALLY want a Maloo to pay this much over the price of a VXR8

Although, apparently this more heavily modified one is “a bargain”

Gnat, anyone?

I think this would look great on my drive.

That's really cool!

That's a lot of money for a bar...

A few years ago, the lit up dancefloor from Saturday Night Fever sold for about $50k which was a bargain IMO.

Buy it, build it, and we'll come drink with you (as long as you're serving actual beer).

Not quite eBay, but a VW based Bugatti T35 replica upcoming on Bangers and Cash and rebuilt by my mate Jonny May, whose old VW knowledge knows no bounds.



Clicky

I don't imagine anyone here would be interested-interested, but it's up next weekend with no reserve, and the rebuild episode (and thrashing at Bridlingtons Race The Waves event) should be on the telly later this year.

How much will this go for?
