It would interesting to check if they had 'E' rear diffs on the two vehicles that went up. I'm sure the cameraman did'nt walk up there.... Huggs.

2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Buckingham Blue

But why when these programs have to go fast when off road? Particularly on green lanes. It gets us a bad reputation.

Watched it many times.

Still love the 3 there’s just something about it, I remember the first one I ever saw it was a silver HSE, looked like it should’ve been exploring the moon. As mutch as I love the 4 it just didn’t have the same feeling for some reason.

Yes, I remember a similar thought when I first saw a D3 on the road in early 2005. There must have been a sci fi tv prog with a similar shape vehicle. Just 'cause you got the power... that don't mean you got the right.

I think this was it;

Its coming back to me now.
My favourite toy back in the 70's! Must be the stepped roofline that is the common feature with a D3. Just 'cause you got the power... that don't mean you got the right.

That's why I kept the original grille and rear lights. In case that design of original robustness sets the value of the car. I intend to keep her indefinetely.
I am thinking of building a new block of garages and reserve a section to sit and admire her while sipping my coffee.. ..if the engine ever dies..

Putting the reg into Google takes you to this: https://cazana.com/uk/car/G8GUK

I wonder if that's it?
