Chuffed as little meat balls!!
I finally managed to find myself a lil' ole disco 3! 54 4.4 V8 SE Bonatti grey, it's also got leather interior albeit 'Tundra'? It even came with the private plate. Fetched it this morning, only got lost by 30 miles, and that was on the way back using the sat nav
I was getting myself hung up only wanting a black HSE, always petrol though, but I think some people CAN own black and some definitly CAN'T.............that's me!
I'm not too bothered about a sunroof, and everything else seems to be available to retro fit. The bodywork is pretty well immaculate, no tow bar or electrics so never towed, 98k, and a full sevice history. Strangly the car came from Hunters in Derby, nearby, then went to live in Dorset.
I'm so chuffed with it so far, it actually seems more economical than my old 3.3 Chrysler Grand Voyager too..........bonus! I think it suits me (petrol) as I only travel 2 miles to work 3 or 4 times a week (shift dependant). I've already bought a tow bar, dog ramp, forum badges and am winning bids on one or two more items on the bay. Even SWMBO thinks it's great......

But still strange as the D3 was available around Nov 54.
I placed my order for my SE TDV6 in that same Nov and it came with fogs as standard....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Very nice. i find that pretty much nomatter how hard, or gentle you drive mine never returns more than 19 mpg. Still, with the mileage you do (just like I do) and the cost savings over a diesel you'll be smiling all the way.
Enjoy!!!

Thanks Guys,
Yes I did notice the lack of fogs at first, but then have since seen HSE minus them? Something for the future maybe. Definite de-tango and smoked repeaters and D4 lights. Yes, see you shortly Bodsy
It does sound pretty sweet, and goes pretty well too!
