Not a single one !!
Hey, we've been here in Salland on holiday for 12. Days now and not seen a single D3/4 or even on the way over here from the Hoek. Maybe we get lucky on Saturday on the way back to the ferry. On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

That's exactly what our Dutch friends said. Car ownership is very expensive here. On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

Actually the D3 is classed as 2.5 Ton vehicle here. (empty weight) which reduces the road tax to only 3K a year. And dont forget the 45% tax (before VAT) on the purchase price. My mini defender (work in progress)

Well, its called slurp tax (guzzling tax). €110 for every gram off CO2 over 192g/km for a diesel. A D3 does 270g/km. so thats another €8580 on top of that
But I have just looked it up again and noticed everything changed quite a bit and taxes are now based mainly based on CO2 emission.
I just configured a D4 with all options for comparison and it goes just under €150k. But then again €84 for a set of spare light bulbs My mini defender (work in progress)
