Model.
Looks a similar age and model to mine ?
It has the six speed manual gearbox. I was impressed how it pulled the loaded trailer uphill out of the field. Went up to 30mph in low box to top of lanes before selecting High ratio.

Mines the auto, I'm used to towing with an auto and it is also our going out car, so the auto is nice.
Nothing wrong with the manual though.
The trailer with buckets and other stuff is just a bit over 3.5t and they pull pretty well, as you know. She is an 06 with 123k on. Have had a few problems so far and am expecting some more. But I love the drive and the looks.

Here she is doing overtime. Whilst the breakdown was a total pain. I enjoyed using the D3 for the recovery.
We are all big kids at heart.

I would say that I normally prefer my bikes but the D3 has got under my skin.
Tempting fate I know but she really is one of the best cars I have had. The only other car that I had the same connection with, was my Triumph Stag in the early 80'stages.An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory.” ― Millard Fillmore

Sorry about the video (I was drivingthe D3) but you get the idea.
30t of aggregates plus a struck truck was too big an ask. Just sat there spinning.
