Good luck with your sale Euan. It’s a great looking car and you have it at a competitive price.
I think the front grill on an X5 looks like a large pair of buttocks! Please don’t 😉

On a serious note, I know a man who will transport a vehicle from Scotland to UK, he's decent, just did a d3 from Dundee to me in Surrey 0 give me a shout if you want his details.
Good luck with the sale, pretty car.

My wife absolutely loves her Firenze Red D4 HSE Lux which we have owned for nearly. 6 years, but it will be up for sale in the summer when her new Defender arrives. Probably in July and I’ll advertise it here first when we have a confirmed delivery date

Deposit taken this afternoon to the first viewer....definitely a bittersweet moment
I’ve encouraged the new owner to become a member on here, to tap into the wealth of knowledge available and so freely shared......so I’ll let him introduce himself later
Thanks to everyone who has private messaged me with their interest, and also for the kind comments of fellow forum members "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

New owner checking in
Many thanks to Euan and his wife for their welcome and hospitality today.
I'm looking forward to reading the forum and learning more about Discos as this is my first (I'll admit I only open the bonnet to top up the windscreen wash at present).
It's clear from the replies on here I've got a bit of a cracker and I'll look after it well. Looking forward to becoming an active forum member.
Thanks again to Euan

Excellent result Euan, didn’t think a D4 like yours would hang about too long.
And welcome to D4 motoring Glorious, you’ve got a cracking motor there. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
